New "Shepherd" Ministry Launched
Church of Christ is beginning a new initiative called the Shepherd Ministry to increase contact and strengthen relationships between members. This program is an offshoot of the Deacons. Presently, there are 10 Shepherds each with 12 and 15 members (individuals or families) in their "flock" or caring group. The purpose of this ministry is to strengthen our ministry of caring for each other and provide members with someone (their Shepherd) they may contact if they have a need or become aware of someone in need of outreach and care. If you have questions about this ministry, please contact John Thew or Pastor Erick.

Following is a copy of an Email message Church Annual Meeting: Voting Results from John Bourdeaux and Kate Persons. Click here to see the the voting results for the ideas gathered during the recent Cottage Meetings. Your feedback on these results should be addressed to johnbourdeaux@gmail.com.
Dear Friends,
Attached please find the results from the voting that occurred this past Sunday at the church's annual meeting.

Attendees were given the opportunity to cast eight votes in favor of the 47 priorities.
The Church Council has already begun a conversation about the voting results and has started to engage relevant committees in appropriate conversations. We would also welcome any additional feedback or thoughts that you might have.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reply to this e-mail or contact us directly.
Thank you.

Dear Friends,

Once the ideas are collected, we will then seek to prioritize them at our annual church meeting on SUNDAY, JUNE 27TH AT 11:30 A.M. PLEASE plan to attend this important meeting to help shape our direction as we begin our journey into the next 250 years!
Thank you.
