Each year our congregation seeks out those among us who have a heart for Jesus Christ and His people in this community of faith. These individuals serve in multiple ways. Elders are asked to serve as spiritual leaders for the congregation, leading the people in living out God’s call for our life together by listening and responding to the work of the Holy Spirit in our midst. Deacons are the caregivers of the congregation and the community, sharing the love of Jesus through fellowship, service, witness, and compassion. Could this be the year that you rise up to hold God’s people in your heart and love them by serving as a leader or caregiver? Is somebody you know equipped and ready to do so?
