4 Christmas Joy Offering & Adult Mission Trip
Our Christmas Joy Offering supports the construction of water cisterns in and around Xpujil in the Mexican state of Campeche. Todd Luke of the Outreach Foundation has invited us to send a work team this summer. If you are interested, please contact Pastor MJ to fill out the interest form here https://forms.gle/1Tke7pyoaFf7gPje7 . We have the option of work trips beginning July 24 or July 31, so please consider which week would work best for your schedule.
5 Congregational Meeting, Next Sunday January 8
Please stay after worship on Sunday, January 8, for a brief congregational meeting for the purpose of amending our bylaws to shorten our elders’ terms on the Session. Currently, elders are elected for up to two three-year terms. With this change, elders would be elected for up to two two-year terms. The Session is recommending this change in order to allow greater flexibility and avoid the burnout we sometimes see in leaders at the end of three or six years.
