The Elders had their first meeting of 2013 on Thursday January 17. Here are "The Three Things" we want you to know from that meeting:
- We welcomed our new Elders aboard!
I am delighted to share that we have a full slate of Elders this year -- 12 in all! Our newest Elders are Bob Bruns, Curt McCormick, Jean Decker, and Marilyn White who join Sue Travis (Chair), Carrie Phillips, Marilyn Lagesse, Patty Shaffer, Al Beasley, Julie Erickson, Charlie Atkinson, and Scott Eubanks. What a great group!
- We reviewd the 2013 Elder Visitation List
The Elders are the Spiritual Leaders of our church and an important part of their work is their visitation ministry with our members. In order to keep up with each other's visits and keep up with the needs of our church we use email and an online Visitation List. At each meeting we touch base about the needs the members and the prayer concerns we have to lift up.
- We are planning our 2013 Elders Retreat
At the beginning of the year the Elders spend a Saturday together on retreat. It is a time of prayer, community building, and sharing best practices with one another so that we can best serve this community. We are still negotiating calendars in order to find a date for that Retreat.
