January 2022
Eric Eagle lead your session in a devotion from John 9 on the fear of the parents and the boldness of the son. John Etheridge was present as an observer. We determined the 2 elders and 3 deacons who have been nominated and are willing to stand for election at our March Congregational meeting. Next year’s budget process was discussed and a potential budget target was reached. We reviewed our membership rolls and will be contacting in person or by letter several absent members. Five members were removed from the rolls due to moving out of the area or absence from worship for over a year. A Walk Thru the Bible emphasis on the New Testament seminar in June was approved, as was a Jews for Jesus Christ in the Passover event on April 7. The Mission will also present a Voice of the Martyrs movie, Sabina: Tortured for Christ, The Nazi Years on March 11. We approved the pastor giving the benediction from the back of the church and the production of a card to invite others to our Church. We had earlier approved a monthly bring-your-own fellowship meal after church. Covid delayed the implementation of this monthly meal. It will begin soon. A letter from the session regarding prayer for the future of our church will be sent out soon. Our 9 ministry teams are beginning their walk and some of their labors are already bearing fruit. Pray for us as we, in faith, move into God’s future together.
