Element Church --- Community Involvement

I have a great opportunity to join a community partnership that will give us GREAT connections into the needs of people in our community. I've been invited to begin attending the Laramie County Community Partnership meetings each month. "The mission of the Laramie County Community Partnership is to maximize resources and influence change to improve conditions of wellbeing for people in Laramie County." All sorts of different non-profit groups, need groups, community organizations come together to (as the mission statement says) maximize resources and influence change...They deal with family and social issues, homeless issues, alcohol and tobacco issues, etc. I am VERY excited to get my hand into something like this and begin to learn more about how we can "maximize resources to influence change". I am convinced that churches don't need new programs, we need to unite with those already going to help maximize their effectiveness. I need to be better at getting involved in stuff like this, so I couldn't say no when invited to attend.
