Before we can truly be useful to God we must meet Him face to face. Before we can accomplish any great thing we must go to God and find His will. Moses met Him at the burning bush and we meet Him through His inspired Word, but we must meet Him nonetheless.
And when we meet Him what shall we givev? All David had was a sling, but with God’s help that sling brought down a mighty nation. All Jonathan had was a sword but with God’s help tht sword also brought down the heathen. All Rahab had was basket; all Dorcas had was some material; all Paul had was dedication and desire.
Anything and everything we have, being will to use, God will glorify. Men and women surrounded by common things which God can make uncommon is usage.
Ask a farmer what he has as he stands before the open furrows of his field. His answer, "Only seeds." But seeds, as is the Word of God, are designed to be planted, and, the Lord will give the increase..

First, we would like to thank all of the congregation for their interest and participation in the elder selection process. Most of the members participated - submitting names of men to serve in this capacity.
All the names submitted were reviewed at the regular business meeting in April and again last Sunday evening. There were a number of men for personal, health and other reasons who withdrew their names from consideration.
Following this process there were three men whose names had been submitted that said they would be willing to serve the congregation as elders. They are: Delbert Leavens, Wayne Vowell and Ted Wheeler.
At this time, we would like to put these names before the church. If any of our members have a scriptural reason that would prevent one of these men from serving it is asked that you submit your objection in writing to Jim Dougan, Clarence Riggenbach or Jim Treece. These submissions should be turned in by April 23rd. Any submissions will be reviewed at that time.
If there are no scriptural reasons submitted - then we will move forward with the appointment of elders on May 7th, the first Sunday in May.
Again, we want to thank the congregation for their support during this process.
May God bless us as we strive to do His will and follow the pattern that He has set forth in His Inspired Word.
