| Ideas for Retreats for Parish Staff and Ministry Coordinators |
- Motivating Your Team: Recruiting, Training & Retaining Volunteers
How to use the psychological techniques that successful businesses use to motivate their employees and increase productivity, morale, and job satisfaction, with the Christian perspective of stewardship.
Do all of your volunteers understand that whatever they do for the parish they are doing because God has chosen them for service in his Kingdom? And are they actually doing the work that God has especially gifted them for? Do they know how to identify what God has gifted them for? Do you, as the coordinator of their service?
By using the techniques you learn at this workshop and the tools that it will give you, you'll be able to attract and retain volunteers and promote greater involvement in parish life. The workshop will include the Four Types of Volunteers, simple tools for empowering them to achieve a higher level of helpfulness, easy methods for raising their level of enthusiasm, and what to do when volunteers fall short of your expections and needs.
- Our Parish Mission Statement: How Are We Doing?
theme: How is each ministry fulfilling the goals of the Parish?
- Serving God by Serving Others, As Jesus Served
theme: A leader is a head servant, guiding others with the humility of Jesus.
