Welcoming Ministries - Mark Twain Elementary
FUMCR has built a strong partnership with Mark Twain Elementary, and last year, we began working with Greenwood Hills Elementary through one of LeadershipFirst's Project Moses groups. These partnerships have met and exceeded all our expectations, and they absolutely are a founding pillar of FUMCR’s involvement in the local community. FUMCR is excited to announce the creation of a new Ministry Area to support these partnerships.
We have a terrific Advisory Team of lay leaders, who have volunteered to serve as the guiding visionaries for these partnerships over the next school year. We have some fantastic folks already committed, and we are looking to add a few more. Who do you know from LeadershipFirst alumni who would be interested in serving on this amazing team?
Who am I looking for?
· Someone who feels drawn to connecting with the local community and willing to meet new people
· Excited, open-mind, visionary, inclusive, all those great qualities
Expectations of the Advisory Team?
- Setting the strategic vision for all of FUMCR and their involvement with these great schools and neighborhoods
- Actively sharing the stories of MTE & GHE and assisting folks as they get connected to serve
- Likely meeting once a month with some work between meetings.
- Asking for a commitment through the next school year (Present – May 2017)
Mike Heaton, Tim Griffy, Jennifer Smith, Adam Fullington and Bruce Batman are just a few of the lay members who have already said “yes” to serving this next school year.
I’m looking forward to sharing this experience with a few more folks!
Our next meeting will be scheduled in a couple of weeks. I’m happy for folks to “pop in” if they would like to hear more before deciding if this would be a good fit for them.
If you or someone you know might be interested in this opportunity, please contact Kristen Ceaser for more information.
