Smith to be elders in our church. We are having a Q & A for these men this Thursday covering areas of biblical doctrine, practice, personal walk with the Lord, and family life. The current elders—Fred Rike, Andrew Siefker, Rex Stephenson—and I, and some of my pastor friends will sit on the panel that will examine Scott and J.T. If the panel deems these men biblically and spiritually fit to be elders, they will be presented to the church for affirmation. PRAY AND HELP In This Issue Pray also for our annual Fall Festival Tuesday, October 31. This is our gift From the Pastor to the community that provides a fun and safe place for the whole family. It AWANA Clubs is a gift so we do not charge. We shoulder the cost by asking individuals or families to sponsor a booth for $45. Right now, we still need sponsors for Events & ten booths.
