Spiritual Gifts' Ministry

The Spiritual Life Ministry Team’s purpose is to address the varied perspectives of spiritual growth within the church. We try to create an environment that offers the potential to help the congregation and ourselves to grow in the spiritual disciplines of prayer, study, fellowship and development.

During the last year (2007) we again supported several opportunities for our church to grow in faith. To name some of these efforts, there was the Good Friday/Easter Prayer Vigil, the Prayer Chain, facilitating, resourcing and encouraging Small Group formation for the purposes of Study, Fellowship Activities, or Special Topical groups. We again hosted an all-church Potluck Dinner to kick-off the fall season for all of our small groups, from Disciple and related study groups, Sunday-School classes, various Study Groups that meet at church, Home Groups, Youth Study Groups, Fellowship Groups, UMW Groups, UMM’s groups and activities.

For 2008, we are working on offering a "Prayer Workshop" and also a follow-up to the "LifeKeys" retreat we offered last year. Those of us who participated will remember how helpful it was to discover the unique gifts God has given us for the benefit of other people and how this helps each of us understand our passion. We will publicize the dates as soon as they are available.

Our plan is to have a similar rotation for the next year. We are looking forward to offering several special and inspirational Lenten Studies that will guide us toward Holy Week. Then we will again facilitate our beloved Good Friday/Easter Prayer Vigil. And at the end of the summer we will start all over again with the kick off of the Fall Season with a fun event, like the All-Church Potluck Dinner. And we plan to again have fun doing it all, serving the Lord!
