• The prescription for a healthy chapter
  Faithfulness,
  availability plus teachability
  of
  officers and the rest of the membership
• 1. Faithful
  
  you are committed to
  FGBMFI, and to your calling within the rest of
  the membership
• 2. Available
  
  you are not narrowly
  confined to what you think your assignment should
  be, but yearn to be used wherever the Lord places
  you. Your motto is, Whatsoever thy hand findeth
  to do, do it with thy might (Ec 9 v 10).

  youre on
  your way to a healthy
  chapter
