Pastor Mark shared a reading from a biography of RC Sproul for our devotional.
- We established a committee to look into our giving to denominational causes and their ‘askings’ request for next year’s budget.
- We shelved until next year a proposal to add two bookshelves and a closet to our current library. We will be placing some books in the narthex to highlight our collection with an honor system check-out policy.
- Laura Dekle, from Engaging Disability with the Gospel, will begin to receive our support of $200 per month.
- Our sound guys are continuing to work with other sound guys to approve the sound in the sanctuary. A professional evaluation is taking place and a proposal will soon follow.
- We will be having family Advent Readings before worship beginning at the end of this month. Kris Finlay will be organizing the schedule. Plans are afoot for a Walk Thru the Bible event next June; this time running through the New Testament. More information will follow.
- An extra communion service after our morning worship will be held on November 14th at Thrive. Space is limited. See Pastor Mark if you want to attend.
- An updated Ministry Team Structure and Ministry Team Leaders was approved. Leaders will be trained soon.
- We have scheduled a Church-wide Fellowship meal for December 5 after the morning service. Training on how to get the most out of your devotions will be given.
- We will begin to receive nominations for new elders and deacons in the month of December. Nomination forms will be available in the narthex soon.
- We also discussed the need for additional equipping for ministry. We have many who serve well and we want them to pass on their knowledge by mentoring others into ministry.
- We decided to call the congregation to persistent prayer over the next two months asking God to show us at Westminster what we should do to grow spiritually and numerically. This will be emphasized at our Sunday Evening Prayer meetings. All are encouraged to attend.
The brotherly spirit and camaraderie at our meetings are such an encouragement. Our next meeting is scheduled for December 13 at 5:30 pm.
