Three Things: Elders

The Elders had their regularly scheduled meeting this past Sunday right after worship. Here are the
Three Things that you should know from that meeting!


  1. Visitations are Happening. The Elders went through our complete "Visitation List" and each Elder volunteered to call, contact, or visit one or more people on the list. Which is to say, everyone listed on our Visitation List will be contacted by an Elder in the next week or so.
  2. Visitation Cards. We will be working with Vista Print to create small business cards that the Elders can carry with them when they make home or hospital visits. This way if the person is sleeping or away for tests or procedures the Elders can drop off the card (with contact information about the church alongside the Elders name).
  3. Recruiting New Elders. The Elders are intentionally working on recruiting new Elders for next year. We are identifying people who we think have the right spiritual gifts to serve as Elders and over the summer we will start reaching out to those folks. It is an honor and a blessing to serve as one of the spiritual leaders of our congregation, and we have a church filled with great folks who could fill that role and share their blessings with the congregation. We'll be talking a lot more about this at our next meeting on June 29.
