2016 was a full year. Below are several notable items the Deacon's dealt with during the year. 1. The year was marked by financial blessing. 2. We were able to reach settlement agreements regarding the property next door. 3. We assisted various members/regular attendees both financially and in other ways. 4. We defined how and in what circumstances we will assist members financially. 5. Ray Nearhood was a very active presence in serving the church and his departure hasn't gone unnoticed. 6. We organized a few work parties around the church. 7. We continued our leadership training program, but have been breaking from that for the last couple quarters to focus on other issues. 8. We missed a couple of our 2016 goals: a. Annual member interaction b. Defining our meeting schedules/methods and better record keeping c. Solidifying our church planting goals/timeline 9. We began seriously considering the best option to accommodate increased attendance.
2017 brings a lot of challenges but the biggest we have identified is to figure out a way to accommodate the current number of people attending.
