Elder Meeting Summary - July 2020

Here are the notes from our last meeting on July 7, 2020:

We opened our meeting with a good time of group prayer, praying for our precious church family, especially for those who are struggling with sickness. We are also praying for Remembrance Community Church in light of Scott Anderson's resignation as pastor effective July 31.

We met with Donna Lingerfelt to discuss her oversight of the church newsletter on an interim basis. We also got her input on the re-starting of Sunday School.

Our tentative start-up dates for the fall are as follows (emphasis on "tentative"):
September 9 - Midweek ministries
September 13 - Sunday School (and Nursery/Extended Session)
September 14 - Morning Women's Study
September 15 - Morning Men's Study

The quarterly financial report was very encouraging. Praise God for His gracious provision through His people!

Cheryl McDonald will move to full-time counseling starting in September. We are in the process of converting the former teacher workroom in the Sunday School hall to her counseling office. We continue to pray for her replacement as Administrative Assistant.

We met briefly with Justin Hornsby to hear from him regarding seminary and his ministry goals.

We continue to thank God for the peace and unity in our body, and we pray that we will remain focused on Jesus in these challenging and unique times.

Mark closed our meeting in prayer.

Working together with you for our joy in Jesus,

The Elders of RCC

Memory Verse: Colossians 1:17-18

Book of the Month:

"The Gathering Storm: Secularism, Culture and The Church" by R. Albert Mohler Jr.

The president of Southern Seminary reveals how secularism has infiltrated every aspect of society and how Christians, equipped with the gospel of Jesus Christ, can meet it head on with hope, confidence, and steadfast conviction.
