Mission Convention

Due to the fact that it will be difficult to get everyone together at the same time in the middle of the week. This month's missions committee meeting will be replaced with the blog.

The main discussion point today is the Missions Convention in the month of September.

We have been exposed to several ideas for this month including
-Prayers of the Nations
-Missions Movie Night
-Night in the City
-Taste of Corcoran
-Mission Seminars
-Brazilian Church service
and others

-Mikaela has volunteered to organize the Missions Movie Night
-Jenna has volunteered to organize the prayers of the nations
-David naturally will be responsible for the Brazilian church service

That means we still have
-Night in the City
-Taste of Corcoran
-Mission Seminars
and other ideas that may be out there.

Who will do what? As you come up with ideas, please post them here! If you need help figuring out how to post, give me a call!

Thanks,
John

Give feedback and further ideas here!

Values (Beliefs)

In the values (beliefs) section of our vision/mission/goals document we had some need for further discussion. Let's try to come to a better understanding here!

The original statement was:
• every culture is created and valued by God
• every culture is fallen and in need of redemption
• only through the Holy Spirit is unity across all cultures possible

Missions Wall

I've been trying to find "the perfect" map for our missions wall (at a good price). Here are some examples:
#1 is 55X39 ($16.99)

Political World Map
#2 is 73X48 ($39.99)

World Political Map, Decorator Style
#3 is 69X48 ($39.99)

World Political Map

There are many other options at: latitudesmapstore.com

The wall is 75.5 inches across. Do we want to take up the whole width of the wall (there is a map that is 75 inches wide)? Or do we want some space on either side?

Committee Organization

This thread is for the purpose of discussing the organization of our committee.

Should each person have an individual role and specific responsibilities?
Or should we have teams of people working together on things?

What are the pros and cons of teams vs. individual organization?

Meeting Time

This thread is for the purpose of discussing the regular meeting time of our committee.
Should wee meet the 3rd Sunday of the month after church?
Or is there a better time for everybody?

Give your input!

Committee Name

This thread is open to discussion on the name of the committee. Feel free to post any of your ideas and we'll try to figure out the best one!
