BODY NEWS
New Security In Place
As of LAST WEEK, our new security system in our children’s ministries is in place. Both doors leading into the lower level will be locked. The entrance on the right has a camera and buzzer system. You will need to press the alert button and someone on the inside will let you in. As part of our security, the church entrance and the lower doors have been re-keyed. Pastor Jeff and the deacon board will distribute replacement keys once the need has been assessed as we have a limited number of keys.
Pastor Appreciation - Next Sunday!
Each year the Assemblies of God designates the month of October as Pastor Appreciation Month. On Sunday Oct 14 the Deacon Board will officially kick-off Pastor Appreciation month at Dover Assembly of God as we recognize Pastor Jeff, Pastor Keith and Pastor Luis and their wives. Paul Jones will be our speaker that day! We would like to encourage everyone to participate in this month-long celebration in your own special and unique way. We hope that you can use whatever skills or abilities God has blessed you with to bless Pastor Jeff, Pastor Luis and Pastor Keith. Let’s keep this going the entire month of October to show them how much we appreciate everything they do for us. Please mark your calendar and start planning how you might use your talents to say Thank You to our Pastoral Team.
Faith Pledges
We are almost there! Only $225.50 more to our first goal of $10,000. Praise The Lord! Please help us reach this first goal. Once we reach the first $10,000, our matching donor will contribute $10,000, which will bring us down to $30,000 due! Please help us pay off this debt. To God be all the glory!
Congratulations!
To Erikah Ostram & Kevin Nunez on their wedding that was held yesterday, Saturday, Oct 6. We pray many blessings on your new life together!
Special Thanks!
To Mike & Leon Conley for refurbishing our fountains and doing some landscaping to our church. We appreciate all you do for Dover Assembly!
Deacon Board News
On Sun. Jan , 20, we will have our annual business meeting. There are some changes that need to be made to our constitution concerning board members and elections. Currently we are unbalanced in our election process. Due to various circumstances, we currently vote for 4 members one year and only one member the next 2 years. In order to balance this out, the deacon board has proposed suspending the requirement of having 6 members plus the Pastor to having 4 members plus the Pastor until we get back on track to voting for 2 members every year as our constitution currently states. We need membership approval for this modification, so we will be having a short meeting in 2 weeks (Oct 21) following church to discuss and vote on this temporary change.
Prayer Chain Update
As we update our current prayer chain, in addition to the phone chain, we are going to add the ability to receive prayer requests via text message. This way everyone will receive it at the same time and there won’t be a need to forward the information to the next person. If you would like to be a part of the text prayer chain, put your name and “TEXT” on a blue card and we will add you in.
In Sympathy
Remember the family of Diane Crumrine. Her uncle, Bill Campbell and cousin Bonnie Powell passed away September 27 & 28 respectively. Continue to lift up the family in prayer.
PRAYER NEEDS
Please take time to review and pray for those on this list. Drop them a card or call to set up a time to visit. They will be blessed!
