Central Region Mission and Ministry Council inaugural meeting

Participants in the Central Region’s inaugural Mission and Ministry Council meeting.

REGINA – The Central Region’s Regional Mission and Ministry Council (RMMC) was convened May 10-May 11, 2019 at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Regina, with an opening Vespers service led by Regional Pastor David Haberstock.

Council members worked through the documents that define the purpose of an RMMC, and strategized about how to begin these good tasks within the new structure. Rev. Haberstock reported that they “came up with as many questions that need answering as plans!”

For this initial year, they have organized into two groups, one to oversee and strategize about Missions in the region, and another to do the same for Ministries. The RMMC defined “Ministry” as Word and Sacrament aimed at sustaining and building local congregations, while “Mission” is Word (and Sacrament) aimed at those who are not in the Church.

The RMMC thanks Good Shepherd for providing a place to meet and Lise Haberstock for coordinating meals, coffee, and snacks.
