Elders Report

The elders met for their monthly meeting on the evening of Tuesday, May 21. Pastor Pat opened the meeting with prayer and we thanked God for how he has shown us to love one another. In suffering or grief, it is encouraging to know that the members of the church are lifting each other up in prayer.  

Todd Swift read Article 23 of the London Baptist Confession of 1689 titled, Of Lawful Oaths and Vows. It is a blessing to read through the confession each month to be encouraged as we consider the statements with each article.

Dave Guthrie provided the April financial report. Giving for the month of April was $76,074 with a budget of $84,126. The total giving for this fiscal year is $621,970 with a budget of $588,883. We are thankful for how faithful God is through the giving of the body at Omaha Bible Church.   

Our total expenses for the month of April were also ahead of budget, with total expenses of $57,611 against a budget of $59,021. Expenses for this fiscal year are at $472,134 with a budget of $517,104.  

The elders discussed membership applications and voted to approve seven new members to the church: Jon and Merritt Aspegren, Jonn and Audrey Eidom, Micah Fjare, Josiah Herrington, and Jennifer Oman.  

Planning for the Pactum Conference in October is on track and the pastors and elders are encouraged to hear that nearly 100 people have registered from several different states, including: Oregon, Colorado, and Louisiana. The other agenda item involved a request for new tables and chairs for the fellowship hall, which the elders approved.

Chris reported on new ministry opportunities that will occur in the fall. Dave Guthrie closed the meeting in prayer.

The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 18 at 7:00 pm.
