In the October board meeting, the following items were agreed upon:

  • Agreed to sponsor Greg and Vicki Syverson as new mission workers. They are missionaries to Pachuca, Mexico, and are in Lexington at this time. An attempt will be made to have them speak to the church before returning to the mission field. (Spoke to M.C.C. on October 19th)

All participating families get a free 8x10 and a church directory, along with an opportunity to purchase family portraits. Brochures, scheduling, prices for additional portraits, etc. will be made known to everyone.
  • Agreed to attempt to set up a church blog on the internet so that programs, announcements, prayer concerns, etc. could be current.
  • Paid for the cost of making 50 CD’s of the final concert night of the revival. These will be presented to families in the church who want them. ($150)
  • Agreed to buy and install gutter guards for needed areas of the church and parsonage.

Flooding at Mike Gillespie's Church

The below message and pictures are from Mike Gillespie, a former minister at Moreland Christian. His church was affected by severe flooding last week. We will be collecting a special offering on November 16 to send to this church.



Fellow-travellers:
Attached are some photos depicting the flooding that inundated South Side Christian Church of Munster, Indiana last week. Particularly striking is the one with the clear blue sky ... We continue to dismantle things and rip up carpet, and hope to begin the drying-out process by the end of the week. Much remains to be done, and many decisions must be made. And because we were not in the designated flood plain, the church does not have flood insurance. We were debt-free before the flood - guess that status is about to change. Your prayers for us during this time are most important, and any other assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Blog Launch

In this age where cell phones and the internet dictate so many of our daily activities, it only seems natural that the church would use this technology to better serve its members. This blog will serve several purposes. First, it will link worshippers and allow them to communicate in an alternative channel that has previously been unavailable. Second, it will allow for announcements to be posted, such as youth meetings, potlucks, or Angel Food pick-up times.

We encourage everybody to participate. Hope you enjoy!
