Three Things from the Elders Meeting

The Elders had their regularly scheduled meeting this past Sunday immediately following the Worship Service. Here are "The Three Things" you should know from that meeting:

1. New Responsibilities
   On Sunday mornings the Elder of the Day (i.e. that Elder who presides at the Lord's Table with me) will have some additional responsibilities. For starters, the Elder of the Day will also attend to one of the side doors leaving our sanctuary in order to offer greetings and blessings to folks on the way out. And on the First Sunday of the Month, the Elder of Day will attend our regular FCC Q&A Sessions to help welcome prospective new members and be available to answer any questions about who the Elders are and what they do.
   
2. Shepherding Letters Going Out
   At our Elders Retreat in February our Elders received their Shepherding Lists. The Elders discussed how best to notify folks that they are the assigned Elder for their Shepherding Group, and in the days and weeks to come the Elders will be reaching out to the members of their Shepherding Group via cards, emails, letters, or phone calls.
   
3. Fellowship Luncheon on May 24
   The Elders will be sponsoring a Fellowship Luncheon after church in the Fellowship Hall on May 24. More details to come!
