Council Meeting
Sussex
CRC has begun its annual elder and deacon selection process. The congregation is invited to forward the
names of any individuals who should be considered for these offices to the
clerk of council, Rob Dekker, no later than today. Please pray for God’s
continued blessing on the leadership of the church.
THANK YOU!
We
want to say a special word of thanks to our friends and church family. We truly appreciate the concern, love and
support you have shown in so many different ways these past two months in the
sudden passing of our son, Ray. A
special thanks, too, to Pastor Joel, for his comforting presence and guidance
during this very difficult time. “In
Christ alone my hope is found; He is my light, my strength, my song.”

From the Council:
As
part of the planning for the new bi-denominational hymnal, it was noted that
the RCA and CRC have differing versions of the Reformed Standards – the Belgic
Confession, Heidelberg Catechism and Canons of Dort. A small interdenominational committee was
formed by Faith Alive to work toward a common translation of the confessions.
Upon
review of the proposed translations, Synod 2010 mandated the committee to
distribute an updated document that reflects the suggested changes of Synod to
the churches by July 1, 2010 for response and comment in order to prepare a
final report and recommendations to synod 2011.
The “Proposed Translation of the Three Reformed Standards” version can
be downloaded from the “Synodical Resources” pages of the CRC website:
www.crcna.org/pages/synodical.cfm
(below reports)
Please
take time to consider these proposed translations over the coming weeks. The council is asking members of our
congregation to look at the proposed revisions, and get back to a member of
council. Be sure to respond with your
feedback by September 4, 2010 so that we can include the appropriate feedback
to the Synodical Study Committee.
Sussex
Christian School is holding its 32nd Annual Fall Festival on
