I am joyful for HCC and missions

God's mission for us is to meet the needs of others

practicaljoycowartesol — 2025-05-22 13:40:43 UTC

When we work together as a church on a mission activity/project, we build relationships and make new friends

practicaljoycowartesol — 2025-05-22 13:41:15 UTC

HCC meets the needs of many unchurched people

practicaljoycowartesol — 2025-05-22 13:41:30 UTC

My heart smiles knowing our church works hard to create relationships by completing missions in our community. People Helping People and Loving Others!

practicaljoycowartesol — 2025-05-22 13:48:24 UTC

What do we need to narrow down? We might not be able to do everything , and we know we cannot make everyone happy. We realize everyone has a different perspective and idea about how Missions should be at our church, but as a TEAM, we are working together, fleshing things out, and trying to find balance. We do not want this to burn people out in growing in the Lord and serving HIM!

practicaljoycowartesol — 2025-05-22 13:51:22 UTC

We may need other brochures besides missions. Maybe one for Small Groups that includes all our Bible Studies and Sunday Schools and Small Groups/Circles...We should be consistent in our formatting and marketing and our brochures and information on website should be classy!

practicaljoycowartesol — 2025-05-22 13:52:56 UTC

Remove all the various brochures on little table and get focused on HCC....

practicaljoycowartesol — 2025-05-22 13:53:29 UTC

We need a skinny table to match the buffet chest. This table will go under the tv and mission signage. It will be for mission collections and other information/brochures about our church for newcomers and so forth. This piece of furniture needs to somehow incorporate a technology piece for a quality fast laptop and remote control so people can EASILY access the technology in the Parrott Annex

practicaljoycowartesol — 2025-05-22 13:55:32 UTC

Please narrow the original list down. I think some of the things listed like discipleship and walk to emmaus need to be under a different umbrella in church leader and not missions.

practicaljoycowartesol — 2025-05-23 18:31:41 UTC

Prayer Shawl MINISTRY should go with Hospital Homebound and not be responsibility of missions. However, we want to help with this and visit the sick and take a prayer shawl if the coordinator of HH reaches out to us.

practicaljoycowartesol — 2025-05-23 18:33:03 UTC

Narrow the original chart down. Be careful with adding too many responsibilities to missions. It may sound good and be good, but it may not be the "job" of the Missions Team.

practicaljoycowartesol — 2025-05-23 18:34:31 UTC

Task individuals with a mission that is their responsibility to coordinate on the specific month.
