Wow, how quickly a year can pass! Thank you all for allowing me the honor of serving as your council president this year. Throughout the year my faith has constantly been strengthened by watching how God works through our congregation.
Whether it is through our support of Family Bridge or our relationship with Western Farm workers, or the Advent fund raiser for Holiday support, Calvary’s members are working every day to make the community we live in better. Our partnership with Community Action, making a portion of our Good Sam Fund available to that organization, dramatically increases the reach and scope of our support for the needy in Hillsboro. The Social Ministry team is busy!
Through the Fellowship committee’s many events our church family bonds are strengthened every day as well. Our Christian Education committee has been hard at work to be sure that our education experiences are interesting and fulfilling.
The Worship and Music committee has done a wonderful job making our weekly worship experiences creative and fun as well as empowering, spiritual and God/Jesus centered.
Building and Maintenance is constantly working miracles to keep our building functional and comfortable.
Our youth advisor Micah and his committee are working hard to give the young adults in our community interesting and fulfilling activities
Our finance and stewardship committees have kept an eye on our money and kept us solvent during very difficult times.
My role as president of the council has been easy and stress free because of the hard work and dedication of your council members. It was a great combination of newer members and experienced hands bringing their unique perspectives and wiliness to try new things. Everyone could be counted on to share their views and experiences with patience and a sense of shared duty and passion. Thank you to all of this year’s council members for a fun, fulfilling and successful year.
Peace and love,
Bartt
Council President |
