New Shepherding-Elder
Installed this Sunday
Our current elders
prayerfully studied and discussed the process for choosing and appointing
additional elders that was followed.
After receiving names of men recommended by the congregation, they
approached these men to discuss with them their ability and willingness to
serve in this important role in the congregation. Upon the completion of these interviews, the
name of Dan Davis was placed before the congregation for affirmation. Throughout this process the response of the
congregation has been very positive and encouraging.
Now, the entire
process will be brought to completion this Sunday morning. Near the end of our worship service, Dan will
join our current elders before the congregation. Along with prayer and scripture readings, Dan
will be given an opportunity to make his commitment to us as a church that he
is ready to serve to the best of his ability with God’s help. After our dismissal prayer, Dan and his wife,
Jan, will remain at the front of the auditorium. You are encouraged to go down front and greet
them. Because of the fellowship meal for
our graduates, we realize that some may not be able to do this; but we hope
many of you will offer your appreciation and encouragement to Dan and Jan.

church office will be closed
