Well, maybe not wiser, but he’s elder, now. J
John was sworn in as elder at Hope Presbyterian. I am so
proud of him for many reasons. John serves our church in the band every Sunday
night at The Stirring. On top of being away from work between 50-55 hours a
week, he finds time to practice almost daily the songs for the weekend. He also
gives close to 5 hours on Sunday to rehearse and play. He is also a part of The
Stirring Leadership Team which prays for those who attend Hope and meet once a
month to plan services. Even on top of this, he has found a different way to
step up and serve Hope some more.
We did a spiritual gift survey years ago. John’s top gift with no margin of
competition was leadership. He is a quiet leader though. He speaks when he
needs to and always thinks before speaking. He doesn’t talk much, but when he
does, people listen. Unlike me, who doesn’t stop talking.
The elder commitment is three years. I am excited to see how
this journey will deepen his spiritual walk and strengthen his love for our
church even more.
John – I am proud of you and for the next three years, will
call you my elder (even though you are younger!)
