New Business: New Mission Statement for Living Ministries
At 8:17 am on April 6, 2011 Summer Clemenson opened the virtual meeting by posting:
I have been considering a complete do over of Living Ministries. The things that Living wants to do are the same plus stand in the gap for people who need that too.
I want to ditch Healing the Disease of Homelessness, however, maybe keeping it and explaining it better, as part of who we are…I may not be explaining this new thought correctly.
I need ideas. The main thing that will never change is the unity that we believe needs to be there to make a real difference.
I am kicking around the marketing phrase: Unifying the Community to Administer Hope
I keep hearing inside myself that it is hopelessness we want to heal more than anything else because Homelessness may just be a symptom.
Please contact me to talk about anything you envision. Right now I don’t have time to take down the art and all the pages, but I do consider most of the slate cleaned as far as our communication to the public.
Thanks!
Summer

Oo I like it. The key to the mission statement and articles of corporation is to make it broad enough that anything can fit underneath it so you are limitless. Then you can do anything without amending them 😉

I really like that phrase. 🙂

So you are saying:
Unifying (the bringing together of) the community to Administer (give out/dispense) hope
Right?

Summer Clemenson closed meeting.
