This past Sunday morning, Mark Neidlinger, the chairman of the LifeWay elders, brought us a wonderful sermon about the critical role an elder plays in the life of a church, what an elder actually does, and the character traits elders are to display in their lives. If you did not hear this sermon, I encourage you to go back and watch it online.
In addition, here are the accompanying sermon notes to help you review the tasks and qualifications of being an elder.
Over the next few weeks, I am asking our church members to pray about the possibility of a nomination that might be on your heart. If you have someone in mind for elder nomination, please pick up a nomination form in the church foyer, along with the booklet about elders at LifeWay. You have until the end of June to submit a nominee to the church office.
