The third session of LLD is the real “red meat” part of the LLD course – team building is critical for our Pastor Partnerships and Congregational movement. Our ability to effectively and positively facilitate this session is a major part of adding to these leaders tool kit and echoing the message the prayer team, dream team, and leadership teams development within congregations. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to leading this process – Dream on!
Evaluations and website data posting: Thank you for posting the evaluations from each of your sessions. If you are experiencing any difficulty with the SurveyMonkey website, http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LLDevaluations2010_2011 or just have other questions regarding evaluations and data collection feel free to message me and we’ll get things working for you. Ken Willard has offered to host an on-line webinar regarding the evaluation posting tools easing the website navigation and we’ll plan to do that in early January. Remember, if you are unable to post your evaluations for technical reasons simply mail them in to me or Ken and we’ll take care of it until your technical difficulties are resolved.
Leaders tip(s) – this one comes from our good friend Larry Johnson in the Ozarks South District. Larry, as the District LLD Coordinator passes out handouts and talks with congregations at Charge conference gatherings about LLD, even has members who’ve attended LLD offer their witness of how it is changing lives for the transformation of the world – helping laity and pastors partner in mission and sharing the love of Christ. This is just another one of the many ways all of you are sharing the good news of the Lay Leadership Development and Lay Speaking Ministry opportunities around the Missouri Conference and beyond. Thank you Larry and everyone for sharing the good news.
Just a reminder to stay in touch with your groups over the holiday breaks if you have them in your schedules. Even a simple message via e-mail or a quick phone call to encourage and share a moment about the reading, or team development is an important link in keeping the motivated participation alive for the next gathering. Also, if you haven’t already communicated some inclement weather options for course meetings as winter settles in, this would be a good time to think that through with your servant leaders and host churches.
God’s Blessing to each of you, for your excellence in service, and for a wonderful holiday season. We are very thankful for each and every one of you.
Godspeed
