Last Sunday (11/23/08) the Elders of The Gathering announced Cecil Jevons as a candidate for eldership and Peter Donovan as a candidate for Lead Deacon.

A short explanation:

The Elders are the pastors of the church and together they lead the church.

The Deacons assist the Elders in the running the church in many practical ways. As Lead Deacon, Peter's first responsibility would be recreating a deacon ministry at The Gathering

If you would like to know more, please listen to Sunday’s sermon (which will be posted on the “Sermon & Resources” page shortly) or read the transcript.

Over the past several months, the Elders have been informally examining these men by the Biblical qualifications for elders and deacons found 1 Timothy 3:1-13 and believe them to be well suited for these position. Now we ask you, the congregation, to provide any input you may have.

If you have any thoughts about either Cecil or Peter, please contact any of the Elders directly within in the next two weeks. After that time, the Elders will make a final decision.
