Two of our Vision Leadership Team members will finish their terms at the end of this year, Bob Howell and Sheryl Gallarneau. Their vacancies will be filled by two new members elected by the congregation.
Thank you, Bob and Sheryl, for your time, energy, and leadership in 2017!
Church members are encouraged to turn in nominations for these two open at-large positions to be filled on the Vision Leadership Team for 2018. Nominations may be submitted by prayer card, email, or other written message to Susie White in the office at

Sunday, November 12th.
The Covenant of Community describes the election process as follows:
The Executive Council ("Vision Leadership Team") shall be comprised of 9 total members: six at-large members, the Chair of the Diaconate, the Finance Chair, and the Senior Pastor. Terms for the members shall be as follows: At-large members -- 3 years; Chair of the Diaconate --1 year; Finance Chair -- 3 years; Senior Pastor -- ex officio.

DeepWisdom
CourageousFaith
Who has time these days to search for God?
Breaking away from the rat race to get a new perspective isn't new. Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, John the Baptist, Paul, and, of course, Jesus all stumbled into the wilderness while they were looking for God. Exploring new spiritual
boundaries can get us in shape for some tough patches down the road. Seeking God in the wilderness can leave you breathless.
If you are ready for an adventure, prepare to get a bit lost out there, to test your boundaries, to find God in some amazing places, and to discover you're stronger
than you thought you were.
