We're on the Same Team

From July 20-24th, Pastor Cory, Cami, and Kristy Lantis headed to New Orleans for the National LCMS Youth Workers Conference. While at the Conference, Pastor Cory and Cami presented on Team Ministry within the church for both staff and volunteers. There are times in the church that we all seem to forget that though we have differing opinions, we are on the same team--Team Jesus.
Our big take-away from leading the session and hearing input from people across the country is that there are 5 key things to having a successful team in the church. The 5 are: prayer, being in the Word, shared purpose, communication, and different gifts.
As we continue to be a family encouraged at Peace, keeping our focus of being on "Team Jesus" is key. We encourage you, within the ministries you are a part of here, to look at the 5 keys of a successful team. How is your team doing with the 5? In what ways can the 5 be improved on your team? What pieces of the 5 are you already doing well?
We are excited to be a part of Team Jesus along with our Peace Family and hope that you are too!
