A Note from the Pastor

One of the best components of the Baptist Church is the
idea of committees. At the same time, one of the worst
components of the Baptist Church is the idea of
committees. Committees can be great or they can
destroy a church. Healthy committees are a perfect
place to find wisdom in numbers, to maximize the use
of the full body of Christ, and to guard against an
individual hurting the mission of the church. Unhealthy
committees can be anchors that drag a church away
from Gods mission and breeding grounds for power
struggles.
I am so grateful for the healthy committees that guide
our church. I have been amazed at the humility and
wisdom that is found on our committees. We are
entering the time of the year when the Committee on
Committees is working to fill vacancies on our
committees. That means that this is the time of year for
all of us to prayerfully explore the possibility of serving
on a committee. The prayer of the Committee on
Committees is that we will have people volunteering to
serve God by serving on a committee who have not
served before or who have not served in a long time.

On September 13 the Committee on Committees will

be set up outside the sanctuary before and after the
morning worship service. I would like to encourage you
to take a moment to stop at the table and learn what
each committee does and what positions are available.
This will also give you an opportunity to share what
your gifts, abilities and passions are. I am anxiously
waiting for praise reports of divinely equipped and
called people being connected with committees that
need them. I hope that you will begin praying today
about your calling and gifts.

Call 491-2626 for more info

Committee on Committees will be doing an
interest survey on September 13th before
& after the morning worship service
