A NOTE FROM PASTOR BILL: THE CALL
|
|
As a pastor considers a divine call, he will listen to the opinions of others. He will listen to people or groups of people in his current congregation and the calling congregation, his family, trusted colleagues, circuit visitors and district presidents. We pray for the pastor considering the call to keep himself open to the council of others.
When a pastor receives a call he should announce a "target date" for reaching a decision. Normally three to four weeks is the recommended amount of time for prayerful consideration and discussion with others. We don't want to tie the hands of God's Spirit in this matter, so we keep this open to the pastor and look to him to make his decision in a reasonable and responsible manner. The pastor considering the call will pray and struggle with questions about where the Lord wants him to serve. He will need to weigh carefully where his gifts and abilities are best used in the work of the Lord's ministry. If he cannot decide and has doubts, normally he will decline the call. His work and commitments to his current congregation should prevail. If he does accept the call, then he puts his hand to the plow and looks forward and not back.
Once a call has been accepted, the pastor usually works on implementing a quick process of transition. The exact way this works is not only the pastor making the decision but the family, two congregations and two district presidents also get involved. Be patient; he and his family are coming soon...Continue Reading

24 Hour Prayer Vigil October 12, 2017 
Psalm 90 says, "Lord, You have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.....teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."
The wisdom God has given us in Psalm 50 "Call upon Me in the day of trouble and I will rescue you."
In our City, Nation and World we have many troubling events and issues that need our prayers.
Pray that our leaders, present and future will be given wisdom to manage the days ahead.
1 Timothy 2:1-2, "I urge...that requests, intercessions and thanksgiving be made for everyone-for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness."
How this will work
* We set aside 24 hours for our congregation to be in prayer.
* We will open the church from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Thursday October 12th.
* We ask that you sign up for a prayer slot.
* Then come to church at that time and pray.
* The other times to complete the 24 hours can be done at home. But we want you to sign up for a time so we know each hour of the day is covered.
The Christ candle will be lit reminding us Christ is still the Light of this world. There will be devotional suggestions and materials. The side door to the church on the Ivanhoe side will be unlocked. You can invite others to participate.
Sign up today!

Parent Sunday School Connection for week of October 8
Bible Story - Naaman and Elisha - 2 Kings 5:1-14
In Sunday School today, students learn the story of "Naaman and Elisha." The Word of God spoken by the prophet was in and with the water of the Jordan to restore the flesh of Naaman. The Word of God spoken by the pastor is in and with the water of Baptism to cleanse us of our sin and restore us as children of the heavenly Father. Consider discussing, "What was Elisha's unusual 'prescription' for Naaman's condition? How have you been healed with water?"
Memory Verse: For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. - Ephesians 2:8-9
