The SDB General Council meets this
weekend at the Seattle SDB Church. We continue to attend to the
business of the General Conference while we seek to implement the
reorganization that was adopted during our 2012 sessions. This
weekend we will be discussing:
- a proposed amendment to our Statement of Beliefs from the Faith and Order Committee
- a review process for our Manual of Procedures
- a proposal for denominational endorsement of chaplains from the Council on Ministry
- upcoming Conference plans
- reviewing action items from last year's General Conference session
- church planting and revitalization
- a search for a new Financial Officer
- a new budget process
- results of the recent survey advertised through the SDBlog and Facebook
- evaluation of our Executive Director
- many other topics
We have picked a prayer focus our
meetings and pray for our churches, our executives and SDB Center
staff, and the people who serve on our Boards and Allied Societies.
This meeting's prayer focus in on our pastors and seminary students.
We covet your prayers for our travel
and for our decisions as we seek God the Holy Spirit's guidance on
how SDB's can best glorify God and advance the gospel of Jesus
Christ.
