Hyde Park Community UMC is a faith community that believes in “gift based ministry”. God gifted you and me and calls each of us to specific tasks, ministries, and missions that utilize our giftedness in powerful and profound ways. Hence, the weekly News and Happenings features “One and Done” Service Opportunities to help you connect our gifts in service (please see the need and respond accordingly).
God is calling! Specifically, is God calling you to use your gifts on the Servant Leadership Board? The Servant Leadership Board is charged with guarding and championing the vision and mission of the congregation, strategically aligning our resources to share the love of Jesus to transform lives in our community, Cincinnati, and the world; engaging more people in ministry and mission, not meetings.
The Servant Leadership Board meets once a month (currently the second Monday of the month), additional responsibilities vary according to church programming. Spiritual leadership is developed through a balance of loving (God and one another), learning (leadership development), and leading (making decisions that keep HPC aligned with the vision and mission). The qualifications for serving on the Servant Leadership Board:
1) Be a member of Hyde Park Community UMC for a minimum of one year; 2) Fulfill the membership vows of the United Methodist Church, supporting Hyde Park Community through prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness; 3) Possess a desire to serve Jesus Christ with excellence and demonstrate a history of this through prior service and current priorities; 4) Shall be of adult age (18 or older).
Is God calling you to use your gifts on the Servant Leadership Board? Applications to serve on the Servant Leadership Board are available in the Welcome Center, and the church office. Applications will be received through October 15. If you have questions, please contact Pastor Cathy: cjohns@hpcumc.org or 513-979-8182.
God calls us to use our gifts in mission and ministry. In whatever way you choose to serve, it is a joy and privilege to serve in ministry with you. I look forward to seeing you in Church!
In Christ,
Pastor Doug
