There have been no enquiries about board positions this year, but Terry Schildt and Dan Stewart have both offered to run for another term. Since you know them both well, and are familiar with their work in the church, I have not requested additional application forms from them.

If you would like an item to be considered for inclusion in this year's agenda please call me as soon as you can. You will be invited to present your item at the December 2nd Board Meeting, and if accepted by the board your item will be included as an addendum to the agenda on December 4th.

The church has gone through a few changes over the year. I believe that the church has grown, not just numerically, but in the depth of its faith. I also believe that this depth is what is required as we grow and change. It is the work of God in our midst, and I am very proud to be a witness to it.

I pray that you'll take time out to read the congregational report. It's a marvelous window into the year that's gone, a testament to the work of everyone in the church. It also provides a window to the future, an indicator of the direction we are moving in. It's very exciting!

Looking forward to seeing you on December 4th.

Much Love

Rev. Michael
