FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (U.S.A.), LAS CRUCES, NM
MEMBERSHIP COMMISSION MEETING
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2014
The Membership Commission meeting met in the High School room in
Reeves Hall at 11:30 AM after regular Sunday church services.
In attendance were: Clerk of Session Carl Connor,
Commission members Lon Anderson (CL&OS), Nancy Johnson (Admin),
Susan Grandle (CE), Blaine Goss (Missions), Deacon Bea Connor,
and New Member Applicant Alejandra Cisneros. Elder
Anderson opened the meeting in prayer, and to facilitate our
interaction with New Member Applicant Cisneros, Deacon Bea
Connor provided the appropriate translations in Spanish.
Due to the willingness of New Member Applicant Cisneros to take
on a leadership role in the church, and the other commitments of
all individuals attending the Membership Commission Meeting at
the start of the CLOS sponsored Soup & Games luncheon the
meeting was very brief. Deacon Bea Connor was asked to
read Section G-1.0304 The Ministry of Members from the Book of
Order in Spanish, in order to ensure that Applicant Cisneros
understood the 11 descriptions of responsible involvement in the
ministry of Christ’s Church that each member accepts as their
own.
Clerk of Session Connor asked New Member Applicant Alejandra
Cisneros if she wanted to join the First Presbyterian Church,
and if so, did she have any questions. She indicated that
she had no questions and that she wanted to join our church
family.
Clerk of Session Connor asked for a motion to receive Alejandra
Cisneros into the membership of the First Presbyterian Church.
A motion was made and seconded to receive Alejandra Cisneros
into the membership of the First Presbyterian Church. The
motion was approved by acclamation.
New member Cisneros will be introduced to the congregation on
Sunday, November 23, 2014.
The meeting was closed in prayer by Elder Anderson at 11:40 AM
and the Commission members welcomed New member Alejandra
Cisneros into our church family.
