Vision for the Elgin District
Faithful Disciples Transforming Our District for the Glory of God
Greetings
| Dear Partners in Ministry, |
| An important part of our connection is communications. While we have various means of reaching out to our churches and membership, the launching of a revised District website will give us an additional means of connecting. If you are a leader of a District committee or ministry focus, please send your calendar dates, pictures, and/or summary reports to sheliajoycecarrasco@gmail.com. Joyce and our Elgin-Aurora Regional Office administrative assistant, Barbara Pufundt will prepare and coordinate your information for my review before forwarding to webmaster Joseph Brehm. |
| In addition to announcing important dates and events, we hope to highlight District-wide ministries that are important to our local churches. Look for an upcoming feature on Elgin District Prayer Shawl ministries. |
| We are committed to helping maintain an updated website that will enhance our mission and ministry throughout the district and conference. Your help and suggestions are appreciated and needed. |
| Sincerely in Christ, |
| Rev. Oscar N. Carrasco Elgin District Superintendent |
