Wild and Wonderful.....General Council Meeting

 The SDB General Council meets this weekend at the Salem SDB Church. We begin year two of our adventure implementing the reorganization of our General Conference that was voted upon during the 2012 sessions. 

As we delve into the work of our second year, we are seeking God's guidance as we begin the work of planning and preparing for what He has in store for us now and in the coming years. We CHOOSE to be READY to FOLLOW IN HIS FOOTSTEPS.

 This weekend we will be:
  • Reviewing the 2013 General Conference sessions
  • Implementing plans to ensure the completion of action items from the 2013 General Conference sessions.
  • Gauging the next steps in church development to plant new churches and revitalize existing churches
  • Starting a NEW budget process for the 2015 Denominational Budget
  • Setting goals to help us take the next step in God's more preferable future for SDBs
  • Praying for our churches, boards/allied societies, executives, and staff
  • Discussing many other topics
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. 

If you have anything that you would like the General Council to discuss, pray about, or hear about or if your church would be interested in hosting one of our meetings, please feel free to contact me at john.j.pethtel AT gmail DOT com.
