When you create a home page, it allows others to contact you readily. You can set these pages so that only Glen Waverley Uniting Church users can see your details. Ask JohnHurst for help. This will get you started: 1. Click on YourName in the visitor list. You should see a page saying 'This page does not exist yet.' 2. Click on the link '!HomepageTemplate' from the list, and edit it. Remove the two ` quote marks before the ME to make the heading your name. 3. Click 'Save Changes', then the '!GrowingGenerousGivers' tab at the top. Your name is now in blue, indicating that you have a home page. You can edit your home page at any time. |

One thing that I think constrains people '''NOT''' to undertake leadership roles in our church is their fear of what they don't know. As Acting Church Council Chair, I have been overwhelmed by the number of things happening in our church of which I was previously quite unaware. We are a big place - it is difficult for any one person to grasp all the nuances of things happening around the congregation. So what do we do? We "leave it to the experts", which is why the same 'usual suspects' bob up in the leadership roles around the church. I have far more faith in human nature than that - I think we can all take on leadership roles, and it is just the fear of the unknown that prevents us. This article suggest how using a wiki can get a handle on the "corporate knowledge" that lies behind a (relatively) large church organization like ours. |

2009-09-15 02:24:52 JohnHurst added two pages, YouthMinistry and ChildrenAndFamilies, to this wiki. These pages are intended to be the start of a vibrant discourse on the ministry life of the church, as outlined in the OnTheWayTogether themes.
2009-09-05 11:53:03 JohnHurst added the list of Councillors as at February 2009 (see CouncilHandbook). (NB: You must be logged in to see this page, and then you can also edit these entries yourself to update any changes you might need to make.)
Many visitors have not completed all the tasks. Besides editing the 'YourName was here' line, you should also create an account for yourself, and set up a HomePage. Instructions for doing this are on the FirstTimeVisitors page.
If you need help on setting one up, just say so - in this page even, or an email (click this link to do so!). The whole point is that it is a community resource, and we can all contribute! (Just like we hope the GGG plan will be?)
The Mission Matrix
The MissionMatrix page shows how we plan to divide up mission across our four OnTheWayTogether themes. Within the OnTheWayTogether page, the concepts and mission of each theme is developed. These are meant to be dynamic pages, changing to reflect the current state of these missional themes. The four themes are: GrowingFaith, InclusiveCommunity, CommunityHub, and CommunityOutreach.
Council Stuff
