CEDAR SESSION NOTES – JANUARY 25
TH
MEETING
The Session met on January 25, 2011 and spent considerable time in prayer,organizational and planning matters for the coming year.
Leadership
- For 2011, the Session elected Pastor Igo as Moderator of Session, and David Van Dyke as Clerk. Craig Baker graciously volunteeredand was appointed as Assistant to the Clerk. The Session approved amotion to extend Dr. Duane Saxton’s two-year term as deacon by a year to afull three-year term (in light of the resignation of Stephen Kloosterman,whose membership has been transferred to Bethany URC at his request.)Thus, Deacon Saxton’s first term as deacon will conclude at the end of 2011, and he will be eligible for a second term at next year’s congregationalmeeting. We want to thank elder Ted Himebook for five years of activeservice as an elder, since at the close of the meeting he begins a one-yearsabbatical. Please pray for the Session as we seek to effectively guide andshepherd the congregation with a smaller number of elders this year.
The Session praises the Lord for a number of
nominations
of candidates fortraining to the offices of elder and deacon. Those approved by Session willbe contacted and asked to consider participation in officer training modulesthis spring and fall. Pastor Igo will lead each module, consisting of eightweeks, meeting from 8-9:30 on Saturday mornings at the LOVE, INCoffices. Beginning Feb. 26, the winter module will focus on LeadershipTraining using “Focused Living Leadership” materials. The fall modulewill cover Biblical Study, the Westminster standards, the OPC Book of Church Order, and self-examination. The training modules are not only forofficer nominees, but also for current office-bearers and interested laymen.
Worship
- The Session again reviewed a proposed schedule of sermonseries through the spring, which includes two longer series through thebooks of Songs of Solomon and Colossians, with two shorter series inbetween on Isaiah 53 & the doctrine of Sin as we approach the Lenten andEaster season.
Shepherding
– Please keeping praying for your brothers and sisters in ourcongregation. Right now there are some great needs among thecongregation due to grief, illness, lack of work, conflicts in relationships,and spiritual struggles. The Session prayed for many of the pressing needsamong our congregation, but we also need your prayers for the Lord’s help,comfort, and leading for the various trials that the members of ourcongregation are facing. On behalf of the Session, David Van Dyke, clerk
