• Over the past six weeks, we featured each of the six Ministry Areas, including their responsibility and their leadership. 

• During this time, we’ve added a new member to two of the teams: 

o Sis. Diane Wuthrich has been added to the INREACH/Youth Ministries Ministry Area Team 

o Sis. Sue Neihouser has been added to the UPREACH/Worship Ministry Area Team 

• As a reminder, if you have an interest in volunteering in a particular ministry or have an idea to improve a ministry, please reach out to the Ministry Area Lead or someone on their Ministry Area Team. 

• In the meantime, the Leadership Council has met two times and will be meeting again in late August. Some highlights so far include: 

o Each of the six Ministry Area Teams has held at least one meeting and some have met a couple of times o The focus on each team has been to better understand their Ministry Area’s charge and to begin to define roles for their respective leadership teams (like meeting coordination, note-taking, etc.) 

o The first assignment for each team has been to create an inventory of activities/services/events and volunteers that are currently in place 

o A number of new initiatives or “shared” responsibilities have been discussed and are being assigned to the appropriate Ministry Area to investigate/evaluate 

• We are excited with the progress made to-date and are pleased that we have members of our church family willing to step into these key leadership roles. Please remain prayerful for wisdom and discernment as we adopt this new leadership structure.
