Toolbox 2

IN EVERY ELDER'S toolbox...

There should be a PHONE

By definition, a shepherd is one who looks after the flock. With the hustle and bustle that exists within the local church, it can be a real challenge to drop in for a visit. But, there are very few folks who cannot be reached by a simple phone call. Add to that, virtually everybody has voicemail. A quick call from an elder with "How are you," "Missed you Wednesday," or "Let's get together for lunch or a cup of coffee and talk," will go a long way to show that the elders who labor among us care for our souls. (Neil Richey)

KneEmail: "Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you" (Heb. 13:17).
