The Art of Sending and Celebrating Growth
Completion requirements
The act of sending is a profound moment in both the church's and the individual's life. It recognizes growth, celebrates achievements, and blesses the future. As we navigate the art of sending and celebrating growth, we reflect on how these moments shape the fabric of our community and the individuals within it.
Embracing the Cycle of Growth and Transition
The Art of Sending: Sending is integral to the leadership journey. It involves recognizing when individuals are ready to step into new roles or opportunities within our church or beyond. This process is not about loss but celebrating growth and the new paths our team members embark on.
Celebrating Transitions: Celebrating these moments is crucial. It acknowledges individuals' contributions and the church's role in their growth. It's a testament to the health of our community - one that grows and equips its members, not just for internal roles but for broader impact.
And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.
2 Timothy 2:2
Practical Ways to Celebrate:
- Host commissioning events to formally acknowledge and send off individuals.
- Share stories of growth and development as part of regular church communications.
- Encourage ongoing connections and updates, celebrating achievements even after members have moved on.
Sending is as much a part of growth as nurturing. It's a beautiful reflection of our church's impact - far-reaching and profoundly transformative.
