Thank You from the Connells....

Pastor Bill, Nancy and the family are grateful to the church for

your kindness to us at all times. Thank you especially for your

demonstration of love to us this Christmas.

Annual Church Business Meeting - Feb. 14

The Scriptures present the qualifications for elders, and the

Constitution of Grace Bible Church stipulates the process for adding

and rotating elders on our Board of Elders. As you know, Grace Bible

Church has six lay elders currently serving, in addition to our pastor.

An excerpt from the Church Constitution has been posted at the top

of the steps (by the entrance to the auditorium) and on the Bulletin

Board outside Pastor's office, that summarizes the Qualifications of

an Elder, the Size and Term of the Board of Elders, and the Election

of Elders. In keeping with the Constitution, nominations for elder are

open for the next three weeks. Please review this information.

"We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us;
we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be"
C.S. Lewis, Letters of C.S. Lewis

May your new year and mine be overflowing with gutsy humility,
trust despite our deepest pain, and decisive action
in the face of strong adversity.
