Dear Friends of Life Covenant Church,

I want to bring to your attention three ideas today. First, our Matthew 25 Challenge already is opening our eyes to the world around us. We’d like to hear your stories and insights and see the photos of what you’ve experienced. If you’d be willing to share them with us and the congregation next weekend, please send them to me at keith@lifecchelena.org. If you want to keep your story anonymous, we can do that as well. I look forward to hearing from you.

Second, if you are currently sponsoring a child or children through World Vision, through Compassion International, through Sakila Child Sponsorship or some other ministry, would you please let me know? And, would you please send me a picture and name please? I’d like to include these children in services this weekend.

Third, I want to remind you of our annual meeting coming up on Sunday, September 27 at 6:00PM. At the meeting, Keith will present his annual “State of the Church Address,” we’ll vote on new leaders and we’ll vote on the final proposed budget. At Life Covenant, everyone can attend and vote. Here is what our constitution says about voting:

…Decisions at congregational meetings shall be made by open balloting. In the event of a vote with less than two-thirds (2/3) majority, a written ballot shall be taken of members only and a majority vote of members present and voting is required for passage of the matter.

This year, you will be able to attend and cast your vote either in person, on Facebook Life, or via Zoom. If you are going to join us via Zoom, email Neil at neil@lifecchelena.org and he’ll get you what you need to be a part of the meeting. I hope you’ll join us.

Sincerely in Christ,

Keith Johnson
