Vision Team Selection
Nominations for Vision Team members are sought from church
A few weeks ago, about twenty-five New Lifers met together for an important retreat to discuss the past, present and future of our church. One item of consensus was that we needed to form a leadership team that will guide the future of our church. A committee was chosen of retreat organizers and others to guide us in the selection process to be completed as soon as possible. This is important, and your input is important!
The New Life Vision Team will be a group of church members selected by the church to lead us into the future. The Team is not concerned with the day-to-day details of things, but works toward making the “big” decisions and setting the vision for New Life. In the near future, they will deal with issues such as Hope Church of Christ sharing our building and the transition of Damon out of full-time staff. This team will be in place by September 9, 2007. The vision team will be a permanent part of New Life, but individual replacements may be made if a team member resigns or moves away.
New Life members are asked to prayerfully consider who they will nominate as members of the Vision Team. Nominees should be New Life members who you trust and will follow.Nominations will be accepted until the end of church, Sunday, August 12, 2007. Nominations can be made anonymously but must include the nominee’s name and the reasons why you have chosen to nominate this person. Nominations may be submitted using the Nomination Box at New Life Church, in person to a Selection Committee member (who will record it on paper), or online using the NewLifeAbilene.com Contact Form (which also may be used anonymously). Immediately following the nomination period, the Selection Committee will report to the church the next steps in the process. This includes contacting potential vision team members. It may include further steps in selecting members or may result in a clear team selected. Either way, we will celebrate the new team in place no later than Sunday, September 9.
Selection Committee members are Brad Carter, Amy Lowe, Lauren Mitchell, Damon Parker, Emily Savage & Alex York.
