Meetings

Patrick Lencioni wrote a book called "Death by meeting".

They are, none the less, essential parts of running any sort of organisation, including a church.

This week there have been quite a few worth noting. Yesterday we attended a time at Golden Grove Corps to welcome new officers into our Division and witness the installation of new Divisional staff. We appreciate the work and support of our divisional team that assist us to operate in our centres. Today, Nathan and Jenny are attending an orientation meeting to introduce them to the working of our Division.

Also, today, we shared in our quarterly staff meeting. It is mandated by law in South Australia that businesses and organisations that have a workplace the size of our Corps centre at Seacombe have a quarterly opportunity to consult on Workplace Health and Safety matters. We push our meetings further than this.

We were able to introduce new staff and volunteers and explain how Greg's new role will work. We were able to introduce everyone to new programs, including our Beyond the Classroom workshop coming up for High Schoolers in March, our parenting program operating in February and our new small groups program that Sally Varidel is leading.

Most importantly we were able to thank everyone for the work they do in forwarding our mission. We are shining God's light in Adelaide's south, and as last Sunday testifies, others are joining us as disciples of Jesus Christ.
