April Meeting Recap

Today's after-worship SGI meeting was short and sweet. Thank goodness! 'Cause we all had met our SGI goals for this meeting and had other pressing ministry activities to attend to. It is very exciting to see the work of each subcommittee pay off so very very well:

The guest packets made their debut today. Now all we have to do is be good stewards of that blessing (getting them in the hands of guests, and tracking what works and what doesn't so we can become better and better hosts when angels come to visit).

The empowering lay ministry group is planning a big event for May 20, you'll hear more about that from folk (Faith, Howard, Rob, I believe) shortly, I think. No matter who you talk to at Open Door, we want to be better and better at energizing each other in the life of the spirit. It's hard to improve what we love so well. So let's keep it up, gang!

The facilities and planning team is still doing the necessary work for finding ways to provide fiscal support for the material and space growth Open Door is considering.

The teaching church application is all but accepted, knock on wood! The committee is making plans for when this change in the church activities happens that we are all familiar with this part of the congregation's mission. Pastor Rob won't be trained until November, so this is one of the less time-sensitive activities.

And the reaching out to the community group is looking at a change in leadership. An aside, several members of the congregation are already working to make ODMCC's fabulous prescence known at some local pride events, and the SGI team is looking to find additional ways to take our congregation's name if not also our message to businesses and organizations in the area.


GOOD WORK one and all.
