Today was a wonderful day. Today myself and another man were ordained and installed as ruling elders in our church!
Congratulation! That's a big step. I have one piece of advice for a new elder if you are interested. I can't say enough about how important elder visitation is to the health of a church. Again, if you are interested, I would be happy to send you a short PDF with 4 articles, mostly from OPC sources. Just send me your email address and I will attach it to a return email. Better yet - I will put it online so anyone can download it.

God bless you and remember Ephesians 6:12
