October 2012 Elder Blog

People of Hope Church:

Welcome fall!  I love this time of year.  The changing leaves, cooler temperatures, and football! (Especially now that the official referees are back for the NFL games). 

Speaking of fall, the term “harvest” is mentioned many times throughout the Bible.  Luke 10 says “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.  Ask the Lord of the harvest, to send out workers into his harvest field”.  As we know, workers are key to the harvest process.  Hope Church has been blessed by many volunteers who serve throughout the week.  You are an integral part of the church family and we appreciate you very much!  If you have yet to plug into a ministry we have many opportunities for you.   Please check out the Information Booth for additional options on how you can serve.

A reminder that October 21st at 7pm is our final Business Meeting for this year.  The agenda will include:
·      A vote to update the bylaws to include additional language for the Senior and Associate Pastor sections stating that a 2/3 majority congregational vote is required for approval of these positions.
·      A recommendation to make absentee ballots available whenever we are voting on a staff position.
·      A financial update.  

We’re excited to serve as your elder board and thank you for your continued prayers and support.
