Calling All TILT! | Stemming from Sunday
As we met as a leadership team on Tuesday, two 'actionable' things emerged from Sunday night pretty clearly. (1) The idea of creating a team to connect us with the wider team was well received. (2) People desired to help out on Sunday nights as actively as possible. So, here goes...
Community Team: (I hesitate to use the word mission team, because everything we do as TILT should be mission, from snacks before gathering, to our music, prayer, to our work in the community) Our hope is create a team of 4ish people that would act as mobilizers and connectors to the community around the Spring Garden Church building (and, probably to a lesser extent, the communities in which we are scattered about). The team wouldn't necessarily create opportunities out of nothing, but would assess the community, see what organizations and people are already doing, see what Spring Garden as a whole is already resourced to do, and of course, pray through the ministry to which God has called TILT in this local community. Regularity, time and length of meetings would depend upon the members of the team. This team would also liaison regularly with the leadership team. We already know of a couple of people who are interested, but if you are interested in being a part of such a team, please email tilt.toronto {at} gmail.com.
Gathering Involvement: As you may know, we gather every Sunday night to worship God corporately. This requires lots of participation and help from the community as a whole - a lot of which happens already. Thank you! But we felt we heard on Sunday night a more earnest desire to continue to be involved. We, as a leadership team, have admittedly found that sometimes it takes more time and effort to delegate over doing everything ourselves. However, we are firmly committed to living as a community, not a top-down hierarchy. So, if you have previously expressed interest in helping out in various areas, we'll probably be contacting you soon! But if you are interested in helping out on Sunday nights, please email tilt.toronto {at} gmail.com. Areas where we need help:
- Kids - coordinated by Michelle. We recognize this is hard because they come inconsistently, but we still need two people very week just in case (thank you Kate for looking after the kids on Sunday night!);
- PowerPoint - it's fun up in the balcony!
- Clean-up - coordinated by Becki L, but always looking for regular helpers
- Set-up - coordinated by Naomi and Kate, but always looking for regular helpers
- Snack - Les still puts out the sign-up sheet regularly, so just sign up as desired!
- Leading in the gathering
