Leadership Link- Nov, 2014
The Board of Elders (BOE) is increasing communication engagement with the Foothills Alliance Church (FAC) community. We're excited to update you on what we feel God is doing, where he is leading and how you can be involved.

WAYS TO PRAY

1. Spirit Lead Leadership
    Pray for openness and sensitivity to the Spirit of God moving and directing the BOE & Foothills staff.
2. Global Impact
     Praise God that we have more people going to serve in short and long term missions:Ben and Hannah WidemanPhil and Alicia CoteDarren and Minako Polischuk,
3. Strategic Ministry Plan 
     BOE is prayerfully working on a new strategic ministry plan. Details will be shared with the congregation at the 2015 AGM in June.
4. Under the Green Roof
      Praise God that no one was hurt, the project came in under budget and that our giving has been strong. Also pray for a strong finish in giving so that we will not need to assume more debt to pay for the repairs.
