The purpose of this meetis to have our membership vote on a recommendation by our Elders. Trecommendation is the hiring of Scott Brown as a part-time MinisterWorship & Outreach. (Biographical information will be included in nweeks Messenger.) This hire is the first, of two, part-time positions whare being recommended by your Elders. The second, which we hope to shortly, will be a Childrens Minister/Director. Funding for these two ptime positions will come from utilizing the, already budgeted, salary foYouth Minister.

all issues. We believe that Gods Word is clear

concerning what a person must do to become a

Trust that Jesus can bring you tosalvation.

Lord of your life.

To make this life decision for Christ, we ask

that you comeforward during our commitmentsong at the conclusion of the Sunday message.

Baptized believers are welcome to become
