Last weekend our Community Outreach Team had a planning retreat. Lots of good things were done! Rob McCord started they day reminding us of the vision and purpose of Outlook Christian Church and the Community Outreach Ministry. Then I had the opportunity to share some things that I see coming as I take on my new role as the Pastoral Care and Involvement Minister.
We then had a very productive time planning the calendar for the rest of the year. Wow! There are a lot of really good things going on at Outlook. Part of that process was coming up with a theme for the year. “Ready to Go” was selected to represent the two main functions of the Community Outreach Ministry: 1. To make sure Outlookers are Ready to serve in the community by providing information, education and contacts, and 2. To motivate us to actually get up and Go!
Our World Outreach Team is working with a group getting Ready to Go to Kenya for a short term missions trip. They will depart on March 8, 2012 for Nairobi and will return March 17, 2012. Please keep them in your prayers for safe travel and effective outreach and service. Outlook Student Ministry is going to Mexico City July 20-29, 2012 and to Honduras July 17-26, 2013.
Please prayerfully consider where and how God is calling you to serve! Are YOU “Ready to Go”?
