COMMITTEE
ON MINISTRY(IES)
Why
the plural: Ministries? Although its formal name uses Ministry, in UUCCH
the practice of ministering comes from diverse sources. Of course the
major "ministerer" is our Minister, but we all minister to
each other. Also there is the rest of the staff, lay leaders and specific
groups (such as our Lay Caring Committee) who minister in specialized
ways. The task of the Committee on Ministries, COM, is to aid all of
these entities and coordinate all these activities so they add up to
provide effective ministering to each person in our congregation. Members
of our COM are appointed by the Board of Trustees directly to which
the COM reports.
An important ingredient leading to the successful operation of the COM is the input received from congregants. These are avidly sought - both the "darts" and the kudos - and may be either formally or informally presented.
Our congregation remains healthy and effective when we all do our part to carry on ministry. The mission of the COM is to help us do just that.
