Report from last Session meeting (Pastor Glenn)
May 10, 2012 At a special Session meeting on May 10, the Session discussed ways in which we need to grow in our ministry to married couples in general, and struggling marriages in particular. We started by reviewing some weaknesses and past failures in this area. Then we began to assemble a coordinated path for improvement. - We have begun a program of Women's Advocates to come alongside women in distress.
- We have a couple who desires to begin a caring ministry to the divorced at SPEP (anyone want to help out?).
- The Session initiated a discussion with the Diaconate on the subject of helping members seek professional Christian therapy.
- The Session established a committee to draft a policy and procedure document to clearly state the Bible's teaching on marriage, divorce and remarriage, and the roles of both the
- Session and church members in pursuing the kind of shepherding the Lord wants us to experience.
- We are significantly expanding our Peacemaking capabilities.
- We are hosting a seminar designed to help leaders recognize and deal with abuse.
Please pray for SPEP to become thoroughly equipped to provide the kind of godly help, encouragement and oversight that our families need. |
