Pre-Membership Orientation – The NC has recently joined the pre-membership orientation process (led by Sis. Pat Dunnavant) in an effort to shorten the process of getting new members connected to ministries. An NC member attends the orientation session and assists pre-members through the process of completing their Spiritual Gift Inventories and Passion Assessments prior to the completion of the class. The Committee counsels and consults with each pre-member until ministry selection has been accomplished. Spiritual Gifts Database – We are in the final stage of development. The database, which will house spiritual gifts, passions and vocational skills data, will allow the NC to: respond to requests for the identification of members with particular gifts, passions and skills identify members who are not ministry connected so that we can assist them in getting connected keep the gifts and passions data current The Nominating Committee, which includes Gbemi Acholonu, Ralph Freeman, Marvel George, Linda Kgasi, and Lorraine Jones, is grateful to God for the progress we have made and to all those who have come along side us to assist in the effort. PERSONNEL Patty Poston The Personnel Committee cares for and manages the needs of the staff and fosters a constructive relationship between the staff and the congregation. It establishes and administers a personnel policy for paid staff which includes such items as leave policy, job descriptions, performance appraisals and reviews, guidelines for hiring and dismissal of paid staff other than the Pastor or any associate pastor, and resolution of grievances. As in prior years, the past year was again shaped by much activity. In October, 2011, we celebrated God’s goodness during our third observance of “Pastor Appreciation Sunday” by showing appreciation to our pastor and his wife and family for their service to our Lord and to us, the congregation. Pastor received a gift card, scrolls of messages of appreciation from the committees and ministries and filmed accolades from various Sunday School classes and members of the congregation. Mrs. Lewis was presented with a floral bouquet and a gift certificate to a spa. We celebrated Pastor’s 4 th Pastoral Anniversary on the 3 rd Sunday in March (3-18-12), with a theme of “The Dream, the Power and the Transformation” of the people of Clifton Park Baptist Church. Scripture reference - 2 Cor 3:18. Supporting Scriptural references: I Kings 3:12-13, 2 Tim 1:7 and Rom 12:2. Reverend Dr. Cynthia T. Turner of Dayspring Community Church of Lanham, MD offered the sermon. After the service, we provided a buffet style luncheon for all in attendance at the worship service. Pastor Lewis received a gift certificate for the purpose of selecting a desired cassock or robe. The celebration was jointly planned by this committee, the Fellowship Committee, the Worship, Music and Arts Committee and the Anniversary Steering Committee 42
