Which brings up the question: What classes should we offer next?

To help answer that question, we are asking for your input. In what areas of the Christian life are you sensing a need for greater understanding? If you could explore some aspect of living as a Christian believer in today’s world, what would you like to discuss in a classroom setting?

If you were making a list of topics, would any of the following subjects appear on it?

  • Being Filled With and Walking By the Holy Spirit
  • Welcome Class for Those New to the Church
  • Making the Most of Participation in a Cell Group
  • Studying a Book of the Bible
  • Dealing with Anger
  • Sharing Our Faith with Unbelievers
  • Biblical Praying
  • Developing a Biblical Vocabulary

What would you add to the list? Please give your input to the NAC Elders as soon as possible. Their phone numbers and email addresses are listed below:

From time to time, the Search/Watch Committee has reported to our church family on its activity. But I thought it might be good to provide another update and summary.

The Search/Watch Committee has been given the responsibility of drafting three documents: (1) A profile of our community—the characteristics of the Lacey community in which we serve; (2) A profile of NAC—a bit of our history and the makeup of the congregation; and (3) A summary of what NAC will expect of the one who steps into the paid staff position opened by my retirement. The Committee includes three elders: Tim Audorff (coordinator), Keith Anderson and Jack Bemenderfer, plus four members of the church family—Duane Heller, Ryan Pitroff, Kay Roberts and Cylinda Vannice. At the recommendation of our District Superintendent, I am not a member of the Committee.

The Committee has been meeting each month, and will meet again on Thursday, May 10. It has been in communication with our District Office, which—in addition to serving in an advisory role—recommends to the Committee potential candidates.

When the Committee agrees on a candidate whom it believes could be God’s choice, it will notify the church family and invite the candidate to visit us, including an opportunity to speak in a celebration service. After that, we in the church family will be given an opportunity to respond by expressing our affirmation or reservation concerning the candidate.

If you have any questions concerning the process that is now underway, please contact any member of the Search/Watch Committee.
