Consistory Mini-Minutes: The Lakeview Consistory met on Monday, Sept. 28.
1. Joe Romanczyk led devotions. He read from Kevin Hartnett’s “The Heavens:  Intimate Moments with Your Majestic God.” The emphasis was on faith, believing in things you cannot see.
2. Elders and deacons were encouraged to attend the final meeting of Classis Rochester on Oct. 20 (held at Lakeview).
3. We reviewed the NEMA organizational meeting which Pastors Rose & Rick attended via Zoom.  Here is the Northeast Middle Assembly’s identity statement:  “By God’s grace, we are Reformed disciples, all gathered and connected at Christ’s Table, to minister to the total life of all people.” NEMA places emphasis on Respect and pledges not to discriminate.
4. We congratulated members of the 75th Anniversary Committee on a job well done.
5. The Nominating Committee continues to search for those willing to serve as elders and deacons for next year.

Our annual “Trunk or Treat” will be happening on Saturday, October 17, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please see the sign-up sheets in the Fellowship Hall for things needed—or if you would like to have your vehicle trunk open.  Fliers will be available to give to friends and neighbors. Talk with Pastor Rose.  All items should be at church by Wednesday, October 14.
