This Sunday, we will conclude our October celebration of the Month of the Ministry by celebrating several people who have worked hard on Eastgate's behalf -- in addition to celebrating our titular ministers (Minister of Music, Minister for Youth and Young Adults, and me), we will also pay tribute to our board officers -- given that unforeseen technical difficulties prevented the video message I had recorded from being played in worship.
We also will begin our next sermon series, "Jonah: Lone Wolf Prophet of God." Over four weeks we will study the entirety of the 4-chapter book about Jonah, who seemed stumble as a prophet because he sometimes tried to impose his own decisions in place of the prophecy given by God for him to share. (Does that sound like something you and I also try to do?) This week, we will focus on the first chapter, where Jonah receives God's call and immediately runs away -- which is both an understandable and a laughable response, when you think about it.
Also, the annual congregational meeting will be held after worship this Sunday to elect officers and approve the 2013 budget. Our Nominating Committee and Stewardship/Finance Committee have done much good work to prepare these things for the congregation's consideration.
