Preparing to serve on a Committee

I spent four days last week in Louisville along with many others scheduled to serve as committee moderators, vice moderators, parlementarian-recorders, assistants and staff support personnel. I have been assigned to moderate Committee 08, Mission Coordination and Budgets and have discovered that we will have a very full agenda. Our small team spent considerable time and effort shoehorning the many items to be considered into the alloted committee meeting times and will be working with our full committee to hear advocates and others as we seek to discern God's will for the church on the matters before us when we all get to San Jose. I feel blessed to be working with the talented individuals who are assigned to this committee team: Rev. Melissa Sevier from Kentucky, Rev. Craig Howard from Wisconsin (and McCormick), Rev. Robert Conover from California and Dr. Beth Basham from Louisville. ---- Kears Pollock
