New Year, New Leaders Wanted!


Dear Sonrisers,

It's the season of leadership transition! Leadership transition is an exciting time for newer members to take on ministry roles in Sonrise, but we also love when older members take on new or different ministry roles. Even if you are a seasoned member, please prayerfully consider whether you might want to serve your spiritual family here at UCSF in a specific way. The following is a list of leadership positions, however roles are not limited to those listed:  https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AQZWXbdWU7upZGZzdnByZGRfN2hqZDZjNGtq 

For anyone who is potentially interested in a leadership position, there will be a meeting Tuesday (tomorrow) at 6:30pm at 1248 Arguello. We will be giving you more details about how Sonrise operates (e.g. how decisions are made, the roles of leaders beyond just their ministries, how much time commitment is actually involved, etc.). This is also your opportunity to ask any questions you might have. The meeting will be less than an hour. 

We ask that you make a final decision about what ministry you'd like to lead by Sunday, Jan. 29. Please email core2011@sfsonrise.org by Sunday with your interest. The following Thursday night 2/2/2012 will be our official leadership transition at our regular Sonrise meeting on campus. Thanks!

~ Liz on behalf of Sonrise Core
