Saying Hello to O-hi-O!

 The SDB General Council meets this weekend at the Pataskala SDB Church. 

With all the excitement of #MegaNewsMonday, there will be a lot to be discussed and be in prayer for. 

If you have been praying for us, please continue. If you haven't been praying for us, it is never to late to start. We covet your prayers. 

 This weekend we will be:
  • Discussing the recent resignations of Andrew Camenga and Kevin Butler. (We appreciate your guys many years of service and your continued help during transitions!)
  • Figuring out what a merger between the Board of Christian Education and the General Conference will look like
  • 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
  • Pursuing 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
Please lift our travels and meetings to God our Father. We desperately seek to do His will in all things. 

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.
