Lay Ministry

 

As of July, Prince of Peace will have begun a new year in terms of board and officer positions. Please take a moment to appreciate the many volunteers who make this congregation operate week to week. The Board of Lay Ministry is keeping the same members, but adding two new ones: Ernie Guevara and Jon Heup. We are excited to have some new faces, and look forward to new perspectives. Norm Schwantes is stepping up to "Director Emeritus" status. We thank him for many years as board chair, anchallenging position for which truly all the rewards are apparently in heaven. 

The board will begin the year with a review of our duties as listed in the by-laws, and by beginning a review of our annual plan. We anticipate a number of significantarising during this new term, and believe it is important to be on a firm footing. We willbe reviewingushering program, to determine how we might reinvigorate it and ensure we have enough volunteers. Finally, recognizing our role as the designated "Elders" of the congregation, we will begin exploring ways to ensure that role is meaningfulthe members.  

We look forward to carrying out the plans God has in store for us.                                                                                                                                                Roger Kautz, Director
