Consistory Mini-Minutes: The Lakeview Consistory met on Monday, Oct. 20.
1) Rex Ahrens led devotions. He read from Our Daily Bread: “Don’t do this alone.” He also read from Romans 12. Rex noted that our big help is God but our second help is those around us.
2) Elders and deacons were encouraged to attend Rose’s Commissioning Service on Oct. 26 (Lakeview) and Classis Rochester on Oct. 27 (Trinity Reformed).
3) We discussed the emotional health of the congregation and how to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit when we interact with others.
4) We addressed children at the Lord’s Table. Children are welcome but need to be aware that it is special.
5) The Nominating Committee continues to search for those willing to serve as elders and deacons for next year.
