The congregation is invited to make recommendations of church members to serve a 3-year term on the Session or Board of Deacons beginning in June 2017.
For
BOARD OF DEACONS
candidates
, think of members who have gifts for congregational care and passion for community outreach. Alongside the pastors, deacons are spiritual leaders who provide spiritual care and other help to the people of our congregation. They also organize and carry out mission work in the community and beyond. They welcome and greet visitors, assist in worship and help to assimilate new members in the church. Deacons also organize fellowship activities in the congregation.
For SESSION candidates, think of members who are committed disciples of Jesus Christ who possess the wisdom and discernment to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit. Elders on the Session oversee all work of the church, including administrative, budgetary and personnel matters; building and grounds maintenance; worship, music and sacraments; Christian education programs; stewardship and giving; and many other issues related to our mission and ministries. Working hand in hand with the "teaching elders" (i.e., ministers of word and sacrament), ruling elders make decisions that seek to follow the will of God in all of these matters. In accordance with the Book of Order, the Session also has oversight over the work of the Board of Deacons.
The Congregational Nominating Committee will meet on February 9th to consider names for nominees for the Classes of 2020. Please email your suggestions to Deborah Mesimer by Monday, February 6th.
