Hi all,
I wanted to send out a note and remind you all that Elder nominations are currently underway for Southview's first Elder team. Members are asked to prayerfully submit their nominations for Elder by Sunday, January 20. Nomination ballots are available in the bulletin each week, and completed ballots can be placed in the Elder Nomination envelope located outside the church office door.
Once all nominations are in, our current deacon officers (Don Collins - chair, Mark Kime - vice chair, Gladys Kuhlmann - secretary, Wes Husted - benevolence team chair) and I will go over the nominations, contact nominees to talk with them about their willingness to serve, and put together a list of nominated, qualified, and willing-to-serve men and women. This list will be presented to the church at the February 17 quarterly business meeting scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Each member will be given an Elder selection ballot, and names will be voted for on an individual basis on the ballot.
Once elected, Elders serve 1 year terms. They can be re-elected by the congregation but can only serve four consecutive years after which they must take one year off (our deacons must also take a year off after serving three consecutive years).
Please be in prayer about who you will nominate to serve in this important position. If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to contact me - by email, by phone (703-860-8800), or we can set up an appointment to meet. I'm excited about this team and can't wait to see who God brings together!
Have a great week,
--Pastor William
