Planning the CLB's first Biennial Convention

Well, the convention planning committee has been at work for a couple months already. We have decided on a theme and are now working on a list of possible speakers and seminar topics. I would like to share with you the vision of our first biennial convention (we have held annual conventions in the past).

The theme is going to be "Telling His Story: The Good News for All Generations." We plan to organize the worship services and Bible hours around the Gospel of John, focusing on the unexpected, unique and unlimited qualities of God. Now our focus is going to be on the Seminars. What seminar topics fit this theme and what are our churches facing in their day-to-day ministry to their communities? We are also in the process of creating an image that will communicate the theme and focus of the convention.

We will continue to communicate our progress as we move forward. Please feel free to leave any comments that you have about what you hope to see, experience and learn at our very first biennial convention!

Elders at the convention

Hi freinds, I know you are working very hard to listen to all comments. I would like to strengthen the relationship between the Elders of Elim and our region and national annual meetings. Is it possilbe to have opportunity for elders to meet, visit with each other and state their interests, hope, dreams and needs. I am not talking about telling the elders that their role is or is to be. I am praying for a opportunity to honor Elders and dignify their role in our Synod by listening to them. Thanks for listening to me.
