New Elders will be ordained and installed during worship January 12. They will hit the ground running as our first Session meeting of 2025 takes place on the 15th. Also be on the lookout for Annual Meeting updates. Your new bylaws recommend convening that meeting on the 2nd Sunday in February. We’ll make sure the packet of reports and information is available the week before. 

Several of you have experienced sketchy streaming performance during our live worship service broadcasts. Clearly there’s a point in the pipeline where the data is flowing faster than the pipeline can handle. Bob Eubanks is working with a team to diagnose where the problem is and get the flow where it should be. I’m sorry the experience is frustrating. We will work hard to get it fixed.

Please keep the families of Annette Merritt and Don Lucas in your prayers, maybe send a card or note if you think about it. Several folks are recovering from surgery or injury. Several others are waiting to undergo procedures. There’s so much happening in our church family, and you all are the best at loving each other through the tough times.
