The Regional Church Board met on Saturday, August 20, 2022. For our newly elected board members, Regional Minister Pam Holt provided an orientation which included the Regional Church’s Purpose, Board Member Responsibilities, and our work together in Covenant both financially and in ministry.
Pam also reported that despite the cultural, political, educational, and pandemic challenges of ministry in Oklahoma, there are some exciting and new ministries emerging. Associate Regional Minister Michael Davison reported on the success of summer camp and anticipating the Intersections Trip to Washington, DC.
The Board received an update from Jacqueline Bass, the First Vice Moderator and General Board Representative, on the 2024 Regional Assembly at Sea. Because the cruise lines will be releasing their 2024 summer calendars in November we cannot get too many details yet. However, Jacque will be ready to negotiate some details as soon as she can.
The Board ratified the Executive Committee’s selection of new Commission on Clergy members and the Release of the Region’s interest in the Deed of Broken Arrow Fellowship Christian Church.
We received the Financial Reports given by Robert O’Kelley and celebrated the generosity of congregational giving to Disciples Mission Fund. The Regional Church Board will meet again in November of 2022 to receive reports and to approve the 2023 Budget.
