Delmarva-DC Church of God

Dear Partner in Ministry:

Lynda and I are very pleased to be reappointed to the great Delmarva-DC region for the ensuing two years of 2010-2012! I am overwhelmed by your tremendous vote of confidence, the trust of the Executive Committee and the opportunity to serve you for a third term. The people of the region have found a special place in our hearts and we look forward to a tremendous term.

We welcome back Fred A. and Vicki Abbott as our Regional Youth & Discipleship Director and William and Andrea Reid as our Regional USA Missions Director. We look forward to a productive and meaningful time in ministry together in reaping the harvest.

Please be reminded Meeting scheduled for Thursday and Friday, October 21-22, 2010 at the Heritage Community Church located in Severn, Maryland. The Thursday evening worship service begins at 7:00 pm and the Friday business meeting begins promptly at 9:00 am. Mark your calendars now!!

All ministers should also take note regarding the newly adopted measure by the Church of God Ordained Bishops Council and General Assembly pertaining to those eligible to be elected or appointed to State/Regional boards and committees. The measure reads as follows:

“In order for any minister to be considered eligible for election/appointment by the International Executive Committee, General Council or General Assembly, the minister must be current on both personal ministerial reports and the local church reports with required finances from the church he/she pastors (if applicable). Any exceptions must be approved by the International Executive Committee. Further, this same measure applies to state/regional positions and boards. Any exceptions at the state/regional level must be approved by the state/ regional overseer in writing.”

I urge you to continue to make prayer the foundation and focal point of all that we do. Together I anticipate reaping a great harvest. It is a joy to be partners in ministry!

Your Pastor,

Ron Martin
