The Elder Team is starting the elder selection process by asking for your recommendations for candidates.  Two new Elders will need to be chosen in the lot.  Ballots were put in your mailboxes.  Prayerfully consider the office of church Elder. Complete your ballot by placing a check mark by no more than 5 names of the persons you feel have the gifts to serve as an Elder.  Place your ballot in the box in the mailroom by today, March 29.
