2009 Annual Business Meeting
19Agenda for Business Meeting
20Agenda for Business Meeting
21Ephesians 41-6
1-3 In light of all this, here's what I want you
to do. While I'm locked up here, a prisoner for
the Master, I want you to get out there and
walkbetter yet, run!on the road God called you
to travel. I don't want any of you sitting around
on your hands. I don't want anyone strolling off,
down some path that goes nowhere. And mark that
you do this with humility and disciplinenot in
fits and starts, but steadily, pouring yourselves
out for each other in acts of love, alert at
noticing differences and quick at mending fences.
4-6 You were all called to travel on the same
road and in the same direction, so stay together,
both outwardly and inwardly. You have one Master,
one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of
all, who rules over all, works through all, and
is present in all. Everything you are and think
and do is permeated with Oneness.

44Secondary Tertiary Leadership
1 Timothy 38-13 8-13The same goes for those who
want to be servants in the church serious, not
deceitful, not too free with the bottle, not in
it for what they can get out of it. They must be
reverent before the mystery of the faith, not
using their position to try to run things. Let
them prove themselves first. If they show they
can do it, take them on. No exceptions are to be
made for womensame qualifications serious,
dependable, not sharp-tongued, not overfond of
wine. Servants in the church are to be committed
to their spouses, attentive to their own
children, and diligent in looking after their own
affairs. Those who do this servant work will come
to be highly respected, a real credit to this
Jesus-faith.
