We had our Vision Banquet at church on January 3rd. There were 23 in attendance including Bob and me. We are praying daily for our members to become more faithful and to get more involved. Here is our theme banner for the year.
We gave out wall calendars, pocket calendars/day planners, a church events calendar magnet for frig, and two new church tracts in packets for each household. There was a video presentation showing events and building changes since our arriving in September.
Bob talked about goals for the 2015 year. More building improvements, ministry ideas to be implemented and personal goals to strive for as him as a pastor. I'm excited to start my mentoring ministry called Rubies in the Rough that I once did at RSBC in Missouri. It will begin on Jan. 18th. It is a ministry for women to mentor other women and especially girls and teens in practical lessons for being a good homemaker, wife, mother, witness, and Christian along with Bible lessons. Each meeting holds a Bible lesson and a hands-on practical lesson. The first will be a simple cooking lesson for girls groups such as pj parties or sleep overs, and they will be making their own lunches. I am hopeful this will be a hit and will also eventually be an outreach into the Cleveland community. I will post about these meetings in the future.
That is all for now, just wanted to get a post in before it got too far into the new year. I have two or three more blog ideas to work on in the near future so please check back.
