Let me take just a moment this week to ask you to pray about a couple of things. I’ve sent information to our Nominating Committee and our Committee on Committees to begin their work for the coming church year (September 2009 – August 2010). The Nominating Committee recruits teachers and officers while the Committee on Committees fills the various committee openings. I’m asking you to pray with them as they seek God’s leadership. In addition I’m asking you to pray about where you fit in. Where are you serving? We have openings for teaching positions and some crucial areas of service. We also have key committee positions to fill. Would you like to serve? We will find a place for you to serve. The fact is you have been blessed and gifted by God to serve and we need you. We are not interested in “sticking” you somewhere. We want you to serve where God has called you. We want you to know the joy of being where God wants you to be doing what He has gifted you to do.
The second thing I would like for you to pray about is our structure. We continue to struggle with our Sunday School. We’ve experienced a major drop in attendance and interest. In addition we’ve not had anyone to serve as Sunday School Director for a couple of years now. Is it time to rethink and possibly retool our small group Bible study? Do we need to change our approach? Is it time to look at what is offered and when it is offered? These are important questions and questions worth exploring. Join with me in praying for God’s leadership and wisdom in address this critical need in our fellowship.
In the meantime I look forward to seeing you this coming Lord’s Day as we gather to worship and celebrate our life together in Christ.
