Elder’s Update
The Elders held an all-day retreat on Saturday, February 12, 2022, here at Calvary. The primary focus for the day was prayer for the Body at Calvary. The agenda included:
A challenge from Pastor Jeff to the Elders regarding their responsibility to disciple others, using Barnabas as an example of one who used his spiritual gifts to disciple Paul and then John Mark
A discussion to reach out to those who have not yet returned to church for various reasons, recognizing there has been a limited response to “Church on the Porch”. This was followed by a lengthy time of prayer by each Elder.
A debrief of the first several weeks of “Go Groups”. More than 100 people are currently in groups and the initial reactions have been extremely encouraging, with many intentionally initiating conversations with neighbors and others they meet. A goal will be to provide an opportunity for those with small children to be included. This again was followed by a lengthy time of prayer by each Elder.
A process to effectively care for the needs of the congregation at Calvary was discussed.
A committee was established to study the biblical basis for membership and its application at Calvary.
The meeting was closed in prayer.
