Elder Selection Vote Today our elder selection process ends with the membership joining the discernment process through a vote. Members sixteen and older are asked to cast a ballot by circling two names and then placing the ballot either in the offering plate or in the ballot box located on the credenza. The ballots will be counted immediately after the worship service and the elder candidates will be contacted. The results of who God has called to serve as elders at this time will be published in the bulletin, Sunday, Nov. 15th.

Prayer Opportunity Global Disciples is hosting a prayer meeting via zoom for ministries they are involved with that cannot be reported on publicly because of security reasons on the third Friday of each month from 8 to 9 AM through December. This is an opportunity to be involved in God’s work among the unreached without having to leave your home! Contact Daryl Mast for the link to the meetings.

Pray For Our Future Don’t forget to pick up your Blue card(s) under the mailboxes for your child to begin working on them. When completed you may put them in Faith Slagell’s mailbox. Remember if you need Michael to take your child’s picture please let us know. We want everyone ages 2 through college. If you have questions, ask Faith.
