			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">SUNDAY MINISTRY MINUTES</span></strong></p>
<p>How many committees are there at CV?  Who is working behind the scenes to make all of the ministries and programs happen, and keep the staff and the property going?  How can you get involved?</p>
<p>These are some of the questions we are going to address this summer with <strong>CV Committee Temple Talks</strong>.  Throughout the summer, the many committees of the church will give a short Temple Talk during worship about what they do, why they do ministry, and how people can get involved.   There will be hand-outs, maybe some treats, and a time to ask questions and get to know about who and how the ministries of the church happen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need your help!  For this sabbatical time to benefit the whole congregation, I am asking you to not only pray for me during my time away, but to participate in my learning and growing.  I would like to invite you to consider joining one of three different groups of church members to do your own reading and reflecting on the same books I will be reading and reflecting on over the course of my sabbatical this summer. </p>
<ul>
<li>One group made up of junior and senior high youth and their parents will read and reflect on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0806646497?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=pastorontheloose-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=0806646497">Frogs Without Legs Can&#8217;t Hear</a>, by David Anderson and Paul Hill.  I hope that this will compliment the work that will be going on around the Youth Ministry Management Plan with Corey, the Youth Committee and Tentmakers, and the work that Pastor Laura and the Children and Family Ministries Committee is doing on their GIFT ministry.</li>
<li>
A second group made up of young men and older men will read and reflect on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/082452280X?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=pastorontheloose-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=082452280X">Adams Return: the Five Promises of Male Initiation</a>, by Richard Rohr.  I will actually be participating in this Male Initiation, and so will bring fresh, real life experience to the discussion and be eager to hear what others are thinking about Male Spirituality.</li>
<li>
A third group of adults will read and reflect on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0802801145?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=pastorontheloose-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=0802801145">The Contemplative Pastor: Returning to the Art of Spiritual Direction</a>, by Eugene Peterson. If you are interested in prayer and spiritual direction, this would be<br />
a great book for you.
</li>
</ul>
<p>In the two months after I return from my sabbatical I will be meeting with these three groups separately to discuss with each other our reflections and ideas that come out of our shared reading.  This will give me a chance to share with a wide spectrum of people from the congregation, in an intimate and less formal setting, some of my experiences and discoveries from my sabbatical time.  It will also provide some common ground for discussion around ideas and thoughts on how we can improve or change how we pass on the faith from one generation to another and from one person to another through the ministries of our church.</p>
