By the way it's the first Sunday of the month. This mean that we will be having our monthly ministry board meeting tomorrow after service in room #103. I am glad to see people joining left and right and excited about the potential members for our ministry. That being said, it's important as leaders to envision and build stability and growth for the future. One business that I will like to introduce in our meeting is the role of each board position and the nominating process. I think this ministry board can lead and direct our ministry. I also see it can be a driving force in our Singles community. Of course the growth depend on each one of us. This is open to all members. Your comments and ideas are very welcome.
