Pastoral Council Completes Pastoral Plan
The Pastoral
Council has completed work on the Pastoral Plan including goals and objectives to be completed over the next several years.
As a result of the many listening and information session gatherings this plan reveals what you the Parishioners want to see
occur in the way of new and different services in order to continue to build the Parish Community and the Kingdom of God.
This information is also posted in the church and will remain there for several weeks. Please take the time to review this
important information so that you can become familiar with the work of the Council and what it proposes to do over the next
several years.

What the Men’s Group is NOT!!
Several men when either approached to join and/or have considered it have drawn conclusion
with many pre conceived notions. So to set the record straight here is what the Men’s Fellowship is NOT!!
• It is NOT a Bible Study Group • It
is NOT solely devoted to prayer • It is NOT focused on any particular
issue • It is NOT structured with formal commitments and responsibilities
