Rachel Sensenig was recently deployed as our Administrative Pastor. She is amplifying the “network builder” role in which Grace Ciak-Linton recently served at Broad and Washington.
Our staff tends to adapt to what we need at a given time and to who is available to serve. We are glad Rachel was available and willing to change her life around to exercise her gifts for building our capacity to be an incarnation of Jesus. She’s still a Coordinator, a cell leader and attached to various teams and visions. Now she is taking on the role of focusing on the administrative side of what the pastors do, especially at Broad and Washington.
Her first two weeks have been consumed by figuring out how the office runs, how the computer works, and what all the machines do. Now she knows more about how the traffic of the week and the requirements of all our meetings and events need supervision. She has an idea about how money gets to the bank and provisons are purchased. She has an intercom, gchat, email and phone calls to keep her busy. It is quite a bit! When the President said he wanted to help small business people last night, that was us! Rachel’s up to her neck now in our business. Thanks Rachel!
We held our second monthly Middle School Family Brunch this past Sunday, January 8th. We gathered at the Snyder’s home in South Philly, with 13 people in attendance. Conversation and relationship building was had over a delicious meal, provided by the Snyder’s. After the meal, we gathered in the living room to reflect over 2011, using story-telling and a team game, and then shared about our hopes and goals for 2012. It was a very special time to be together.
