We all have families and jobs. We all have feelings and insecurities. We all have interests, skills, and opinions, and your opinion and skills truly matter to us. We have a great time at council meetings. Each persons' voice is welcomed and encouraged at meetings.
Discussions are open and friendly.
Spending time on council finally is the opportunity for you to see how your church functions, and the tremendous amount of service it provides. Please, if you have never served on council and are asked-please give it serious thought and say 'yes', or if you have served previously and are asked again then do the same. I anticipate each of us will serve more than one term in our long lifetimes. Our church does not run by itself. Rather it is managed with the help of the Lord and the church's good family members.
