I attended my first elders' meeting last night as a minister. I've sat in on parts of other meetings, but this was the first one I stayed in for the whole time...over 3 hours! It was a time of fellowship, encouragement, prayer and intense discussion. After listening to the things going on within our church family (hurts, praises, concerns, sickness, etc) I felt better informed and empowered as a minister to encourage and really do the ACT of "ministry" to our congregation. I'm blessed with my job position to work not just with the Junior High, but with the church as a whole really, through Involvement and Children's Ministries as well.
I'm blessed to work under a terrific eldership, men who care deeply about our church family, reaching the lost, and abiding by God's Word. Praise God!
