uring the pastoral transition at St. John’s, one significant development was the recommitment to ministry teams, from worship to social justice, from faith formation to hospitality, from personnel to stewardship, and so on. However, recommitment is a long-term commitment, and we are in the process of determining which teams are moving forward, which teams need to be shored up, which teams need to be further developed, and which teams need to founded to meet the needs of God’s people, within and beyond the walls of St. John’s. To that end, we are working to make sure each team has a Team Leader, a Church Council Liaison, team members, a clear mission, and needed resources. Please take a look at the accompanying chart to determine how you can plug in! If your have specific questions, please reach out to a member of the St. John’s staff or Church Council. Drawing from the Africanist perspective that upholds the gift of collaboration, we remember the proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together .” God has called us to go far, together! Will you join a St. John’s team?
