July 2024
The Board of Elders for the new church year at Vine Street is already hard at work! The Elders held their first meeting on Monday, July 8. Each Elder shared their response to the question: “why I am glad I am here at this gathering of Elders.” The discussion was rich, positive and a true reflection of the calling for Elders to be spiritual explorers within the life of Vine Street! We further discussed specific roles of Elders, including caring for the congregation, serving at the Lord’s Table, calling on those not able to be in worship, and providing other support as requested by our ministers. A specific task that Elders have agreed to undertake is to provide an avenue of communication when members of the congregation have particular needs that can be addressed by our ministers or by other members of the congregation.
Members of the Board of Elders for this church year are:
Larry Adams
Linda Brandau
Julia Callaway
Ed Cole
Pat Cole
Rachel Dixon,
Erica Hayden
Roger Young
Jim Zamata
Kathy Zamata
Feel free to reach out to any of the Elders if you have questions about the life of our Vine Street congregation or if you know of a particular instance where Elders or our ministers can reach out in support of an individual or a family.
Ed Cole, Chair, Vine Street Board of Elders
