The Mission Resource Team continues to provide training and resource information for the churches in the Santa Ana District. Our goal was to offer and complete the training for the four major local church committees including Staff Parish, Lay, Finance and Trustees by March of 2009. In addition, we also wanted to set up a Mission Resource area on the District website for information and training materials.
The Finance and Trustee Committee Training was held March 1st and 8th 2009 at two locations (Aldersgate UMC and La Mirada UMC) with combined total of 100 members and clergy attending. Our goal was to provide workshops for looking at various responsibilities, resources and sharing challenges and ideas. In addition, we also had a catch up session held on March 1st for Staff Parish Training which was well attended.
Many thanks to Judy Cobb, Dan Gara, Jan Berentsen and others who all participated in the trainings.
The committee will be working with to follow-up of the training and on-going needs for the coming year with an emphasis on supporting the Mission Centers for their training and resource needs.
