Any time during the following three (3) weeks any Church member may submit to the members of the Nominating Committee other names that he/she would like to see placed in nomination for the position to be filled. If the committee finds the person qualified for the position, the person’s name may be placed on the ballot. If for any reason an individual is found to be unqualified, the reason shall be given to the person who submitted the individual’s name." All submissions should be given to Pastor Luke. All members should plan to attend this meeting.
Monthly Prayer Focus - The Work of Envision Atlanta
Pray for the work of Envision Atlanta as they seek to reach the peoples of the world by reaching Atlanta/Clarkston. Pray for opportunities to meet physical and spiritual needs, the identification of persons of peace, and for the Gospel to take root in children, teens, and adults. Pray for First Alliance as we go to Envision Atlanta this month on a short-term missions trip. May the Lord open doors and provide the right resources that will allow us to personally engage the world in our own backyard with the good news of Jesus.
