This week’s Advice and Query:

15. Do you take part as often as you can in meeting for church affairs?  Are you familiar enough with our church government to contribute to its disciplined process?  Do you consider difficult questions with an informed mind as well as a generous and loving spirit?  Are you prepared to let your insights and personal wishes take their place alongside those of others or be set aside as the  meeting seeks the right way forward?  If you cannot attend, uphold the meeting prayerfully.
