A Word from Andrew... Annual Meeting this Sunday...

Dear Pine Street Church Members and Friends,

This Sunday, January 26, is our Annual Meeting immediately following our Sunday worship gathering. I encourage you to join your fellow Pine-heads for this year-in-review to celebrate our ministry successes over the past 12 months. 

We will also honor our outgoing Council of Ministries leaders, vote on a new slate of 2020 leaders for our newly formed Leadership Council as well as Chairs of Standing Committees. We will vote on becoming a congregational partner of a national group of LGBTQ+ advocates, Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists (AWAB), and we will vote on our 2020 financial plan/budget. 
 
As we step in to 2020, we do so with much momentum gained in 2019 and anticipation of the next 12 months of transforming ministry ahead that will lead us to fulfill our call to embrace everyone , inspire life, and create more. 

Thank you for who you are and all that you do (seen and unseen) to make PSC the  extraordinary spiritual  community that it is. I am  honored to serve among  you. We have so much to offer the world locally and globally. The world needs a church like this at a time like this. Our contributions are needed at this time of our lives and in the life of our times now more than ever. 

Here's to all that we will celebrate and accomplish  together in 2020. 

See you Sunday,
Andrew

ANNUAL MEETING AND LUNCHEON

Please plan to join us Sunday January 26th after our morning worship service for our 2019 Annual Meeting. We will migrate downstairs to the Fellowship Hall share a meal and then celebrate everything we accomplished in 2019! 

The business portion of the meeting will include voting on a new slate of officers for our 2020 Leadership Council (The first ever in our newly implemented Governance Model!) as well as voting on a 2020 budget. 

The Church will provide a main dish and we ask that folks bring side dishes. So we don't end up with too much of one thing we'll go with last name starting with: 

A - I: Salads
J - R: Sides 
S - Z: Desserts

Look for the sign up sheet this Sunday during our regular reception time. We'll see you all there! Open to All.
RMMO
Retired Ministers and Missionaries Offering (RMMO)

Honoring the Service of God's Servants

Throughout the month of January, we will be receiving the annual RMMO (Retired Ministers and Missionaries Offering). We sometimes refer to this as a Thank You offering....a time for us to remember, celebrate and give thanks for pastors who may have inspired, encouraged, mentored or supported us in times of joy and in times of sorrow.

You'll hear more about this offering each Sunday, but please begin reflecting on what you might contribute to help us reach our goal of $1,000. 

With gratitude,
Heart for Mission Team
