Building a happy, sustainable, and motivated Seniors Team

We have all been part of teams that haven’t worked terribly well – perhaps we’ve felt unappreciated, never thanked, or our opinions haven’t really counted, so maybe we’ve not felt that motivated to turn up and help. Pippa Cramer, MBE, and Faith in Later Life ambassador, believes passionately that having a happy, motivated, appreciated team is central to all areas of ministry being a success.

We, at Faith in Later Life agree! This is why we are looking forward to welcoming Pippa to our online Church Champions event on Thursday 23 January. Pippa has worked as Pastoral Care & Seniors Minister at Holy Trinity Church, Claygate for over 12 years now. She set up ‘Connections’, a large weekly group for seniors, and she oversees the Pastoral Care within the church. She leads and co-ordinates many different teams, large and small, and you will always find her singing their praises and affirming them. She is SO aware of the importance of unity and that none of what she is involved in would work without these incredible team members, all of whom have wonderfully unique and different gifts.

Do join us on Thursday 23 January at either 1.30pm or 7.30pm where we will hear from Pippa, and we hope and pray you will leave these sessions inspired, equipped and more confident to build and be part of effective teams.
