This is an email I sent to leaders a month or so ago. — so let me ask myself again…#1-5!!

Hello Team Shepherds of New Hope:

Check this quote by one of our exemplary volunteer leaders, Tom Mick, who leads our Usher Ministry.

“I believe that there are two things that are most important for all ministries - these two things are Communication and Relationships. If you don’t have these two elements, your ministry will definitely suffer - in fact, any ministry or job/ work location needs these two items. If you don’t have them, your work/serving is adversely affected, as is morale.”

So I’ve asked myself:

1. How do I rate myself in overall effectiveness in these 2 areas?
2. How can I improve my communication or relational skills?
3. Who can I hold myself accountable to, to live out my desired goals (action plan) to improve?
4. Are there any particular people I need to develop better communication with?
5. Are there any particular people I need to develop better relationships with?

Always growing,
Rod
