So much of what we do here at Hoboken Grace revolves around the countless people who serve on our teams, and those who lead these teams and groups. Each leader is a key component of the mission as we help people find their way back to God.
This past weekend we honored those who commit their time and gifts to lead well with our annual Leadership Weekend. It was amazing to see so many new faces that have made recent commitments to serve on a team here a Hoboken Grace. Being able to come together and celebrate, made for a great opportunity for new and old leaders to connect with each other.
After the morning and afternoon sessions on Saturday, leaders left extremely encouraged with all that they heard about the processes of leading, failing, learning, and working through difficult situations.
“It’s always nice to be humbled and remember the failures you go through… We learn so much from the things that work and don’t work,” said Christian, one of the leaders that attended the sessions.
Leaders were also able to talk to each other, share ideas, and pray together — all while having fun with the several activities that were prepared for them.
Another leader said: “It was very important to hear how we, as leaders, exemplify Christ through our integrity and how that helps us lead!”
The day ended with a very yummy BBQ on the roof, where our leaders were able to chat even more, eat, and play some games! It was so special to have everyone together as we prepare for all the big plans that are ahead!
Leadership Weekend wrapped up with a fun day at Six Flags for our leaders. There, they enjoyed a beautiful sunny day full of rides, fun, and food. Once again, it was a great opportunity to connect and bond as a team.
Equipping our leaders to lead well is one of the most important things here and we are so grateful for all of them!
