Three Things from the Elders

The Elders had their first meeting of the New Year, and here are the three things you should know from that meeting:

1. We welcomed four new Elders into the fold -- Marilyn Lagesse, Carrie Marinkovich, Patti Shaffer, and Sue Travis. They join Al Beasley, Julie Erickson, Judy Kares, Michael Wise (chair), Monica Case, Bob Huber, Michelle Landreville, and Bob Stall as the Twelve Elders of FCC Scottsdale.
2. We will have an Elders Retreat on January 22, 2011 at the Franciscan Renewal Center. Please keep us in your prayers as we retreat together to prepare for all that God is calling our Elders to do and be in the coming year!
   
3. The Elders are looking at a new way of sharing their visitation logs with one another so that we might do a better job of keeping in touch with each other and stay better abreast of the needs of our church. 

As a side note, this was Mike Wise first meeting as Chair of the Elders and he did a terrific job. The energy level and enthusiasm is very high with our Elders and we are fortunate to have them as leaders of our church!
