One of the highlights that I get to experience each week is the privilege of spending about three hours after Bible class on Wednesday evenings with a great group of brothers. Our weekly elders meeting begins around 8:00 and sometimes last until 11:00 p.m. It is a time of laughter and a time for tears as we discuss the most important thing in our lives the Central Church.
It is really “mind-boggling” sometimes as you look in the New Testament at God’s plan for the church. How God established shepherds to watch over the spiritual life of the flock and deacons to take care of the daily needs of the church. At times I know each of us feel inadequacies and doubt. How do we lead a church with so many varied backgrounds and needs? How do we encourage each member to know that if you place your entire trust and faith in God he will bless you beyond all comprehension?
Each Wednesday night I get my cup filled. Each brother is such an encouragement. We depend and rely on each other and our Heavenly Father to get from one major concern to another. Each person has special needs and each individual needs to know that God cares for them greatly.
Please keep the Central Elders in your daily prayers. Our main goal is to glorify our Heavenly Father in everything that we do. We want each individual to believe with all their heart that Jesus loves them and He is the only way to have a life of fulfillment and peace.
