“Our Goals”

To the members and friends of Scottsville United Methodist Church, I bring you greetings of joy and peace in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Almighty God, and the Holy Spirit, who is always with us.

Our Administrative Council has formally adopted goals for the time frame of 2010-2013.  The purpose of goal-setting is to help keep the eyes and hopes of the church focused on the future.  Also, it helps us to better understand where to direct our time and resources.  Ultimately, goals help the church from becoming stagnant.  Each year, the Administrative Council will evaluate the status of each of these goals in order to refine and possibly adopt additional goals.  

Our goals are:

1)      To conduct a congregational gifts inventory to determine gifts and talents of church members.

2)      To keep the church’s website updated on a more frequent basis.

3)      Make it known to local high schools that our church is open as an opportunity for students needing a task for a senior project.

4)      Post in a prominent church location the names of each church committee along with a job description of that committee.

5)      To enhance the Good Friday service with a play of some sort.

6)      To start a 5:00PM worship service on Christmas Eve.  (Current services would remain.)

7)      To start a 5:00PM church service on Saturday evening with upbeat music. (Current Sunday services would remain.)

8)      Establishment of a United Methodist Men’s group.

9)      Implement something for the 20-30 year-old age group.

10)  Reemploy the weekly sign-in pew booklets to track church attendance. 

Some of these goals have already been achieved.  Others are being worked on by one of our church committees (teams).   These are exciting goals.  I congratulate the Administrative Council for adopting them.  They will empower the Scottsville Church to move into the future with hope and confidence. 

See you in church. 

Peace,

Dennis Keen, Pastor
