Thank You For... SUPPORTING CLERGY AND LEADER DEVELOPMENT
“Great gifts mean great responsibilities; greater gifts, greater responsibilities!” (Luke 12:48, MSG). Thank you for recognizing my gifts and my eagerness to share them in ways that might benefit the realization of God’s realm on earth. Thank you for the opportunities to work with the DMT and the PDMT. Thank you for the opportunities to design and lead workshops and other events, serve on staff of CPYC and Children’s Fest, and in many other ways. These have been not only instances of service, but occasions of spiritual and professional growth. In addition to these opportunities, I thank you for your stewardship. I recognize the financial burden to lead the denomination through its programs and agencies, all on a budget that is rarely fully funded. Even more than that, I recognize the burden to lead and serve, to engage and empower, to teach and learn, and even to staff teams with volunteer elected members who are passionate about the denomination’s work and mission. Thank you for taking so seriously the responsibility to serve Christ in that way. 12 |
