WE ALL HAVE GIFTS! God has given each Christian two vitally important gifts. First, we’ve been given the gift of FAITH in Jesus Christ. The second is the gift of one or more special abilities which should be used for the purpose of unifying the body of Christ and for the growth of God’s Kingdom. The Florida/Bahamas Synodical Women’s Organization (SWO) board members share various types of gifts. God bestows the gifts to us through the work of the Holy Spirit. Gifts used by board members are many and range from those of leadership and organization, being good note takers, and having a willingness to serve in any way called. In the fall of 2012 we will be electing 4 board members and a treasurer. A vice-president will also be elected by Ecclesiastical ballot. (See attachment below.) Pray about sharing and using your gifts with the Florida/Bahamas SWO and encourage others in your organization to share their gifts. To place a name in nomination, complete the Executive Board Nomination Form found at the link below or in the Leadership Manual that is online at Leadership Resources. Any questions about duties of a board member or SWO treasurer may be directed to our president Linda Greilick lindag65@verizon.net or to any nominating committee member listed below. You may also check out the duties of a board member, treasurer, and vice president from the attachment below.

Both Joan and Raeann have served on the board and will be glad to share their experiences with you. As members of the board, they feel they have each been blessed in so many ways. Opportunities include meeting and working with women from all around the synod both during board activities and in visits to various conferences for Spring Gatherings and other meetings, to traveling outside the state to attend training meetings. Both of us have attended various Triennials as voting delegates and as attendees and have been blessed with worshiping and studying God’s word with women from all around the nation. As a board member of the Florida/Bahamas SWO, you will have a chance to enjoy all of these wonderful experiences. When you submit your name, we will pray for you and trust in God’s help.
As a reminder to you, no more than one person may be elected to office from a Unit. Consideration should be given to geographic location, variety of age, and diversity of experience. Any woman who is an active member of a Unit is eligible to be nominated.  |
