We had a good men’s meeting last Sunday evening and several things were discussed, some of which were saved for later discussion. But, here are some of the things discussed and agreed to in our meeting last week. On the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving Day our service will be a thanksgiving prayer and song service instead of our normal Bible classes. It was also agreed that, due to all the bad happenings in our world right now, we need to put a buzzer on the east side door so that door can remain locked when people are working here in the building during the week. Those seeking help, etc. can just ring the buzzer and will be allowed in but people will not be able to slip in unnoticed. It was also announced that the replacement of our sign on Hwy. 51 is complete. We have a letter from ODOT approving our new sign and here is how they described our sign in their letter. “For whatever it is worth, although smaller in size, the workmanship of the sign is very aesthetically pleasing and will reflect well upon the church.” We owe a debt of thanks to Jeff Hamilton (Mallett Funeral Home) for making the sign and to Doug Kelley for working so hard to get the old sign torn down and the new sign put up. Also, the Wagoner church of Christ is now officially registered as an LLC (Limited Liability Company). This will accomplish two things for us. First, it helps protect us if, for some reason, someone were to file suit against the church. As you well know, this is happening a lot in our world today from the homosexual movements and others. Secondly, it makes it really easy for the church to make a loan from the bank as we will need for our new roof on the church building. This LLC does not affect us as the church in any way whatsoever. It has no effect on our teachings or our practices.
In addition to all that was just mentioned, there were some other things brought up that the men decided needed to be put on our agenda for the planning session that was held yesterday. Next week, the Lord willing, we will be able to give a basic report here in the bulletin on the plans made for the Wagoner church of Christ for 2016. Brethren, we have some good things that this congregation is a part of, participating in at this time. But, there are also a lot of areas that we can and need to work on to help build this congregation. Yesterday’s planning session does not and should not be the end of hearing and working on new ideas and suggestions to help us reach out to our community with the gospel of Christ. Brethren, any time any one of you has an idea, a thought, a suggestion that might help us, please do not hesitate to bring it up for the men to look at and consider. Remember, we are family, we are all in this together, therefore, we must work together!
Until next week, I love you all,
Dan
