 Pray for the Elder Forums - They are held at the Chicago Church from 1/4-1/15.  The elders are divided into 4 groups, with each group meeting for 2 days. Some of the topics that will be discussed are:  1) elder accountability, 2) role of women in the church, 3) Bible Translations, 4) Accountability in the Ministry, 5) Church bolstering, 6) Vision and Guiding Principles.  The purpose of these meetings are not to make decisions, but to provide a forum where “iron sharpeneth iron..” as we  study God’s Word and how it applies to these topics.  Bros. Tom and Frank will attend the forums on the 7th and 8th.
