PASTOR’S PEN . . .
by Pastor Dave Templin

We’re looking for some committed servants.

Leadership roles in the church sometimes suffer a kind of confusion.  Now and then an opportunity comes along that may sound like one thing while actually being rather different than one might assume.  The advertising industry makes intentional use of this as a kind of misdirection – examples: The beautiful woman “displayed” with the new car (now, which are you buying?), or the Army’s campaign “An Army of One” which appeals to the self-sufficiency of the individual when the new recruit quickly discovers that the Army is about teamwork, not individual expression.  You may think you are getting one thing when something else is the real result.

Such may well be the case as one considers the need we have for a superintendent of next year’s children’s Sunday School program here at WPC. We see the word “school” and think that we have to be an expert with kids.  Not the case.  Or we see the word “superintendent” and think one has to do the work all by oneself.  Nada.  No way.

What we are looking for in a Sunday School superintendent is someone who will organize the planning and work of the education team (many are returning members of last year’s team).  You don’t have to be an expert with kids, but you do need a heart for helping ministry happen.  You don’t have to be a “lone ranger.”  Our youth director, Justin Ross, and a host of others will work alongside you in this important ministry.  There are excellent resources with which to work, but one person is missing . . .

Your church needs YOU!

Specifically, we need you to serve as superintendent of children’s Sunday School next fall.  Now is the time to begin planning, so please contact Justin or me to let us know how you can help. 

We’ll answer your questions and help you be a part of our ministry team!
