Sectional Council Season

Yesterday, I spent my day at Trinity AG in Lanham, MD with the start of our sectional council season. As you may know, the Assemblies of God churches are divided into districts (regional) and then further into sections (also geographic). The Potomac District is divided into 12 sections, which have their own leadership and organization. Our sections meet usually monthly for fellowship and in the spring, the sections have their business meetings to vote in leadership and cast vision for the future.

As a missionary, I travel to all the sectional councils; I like catching all the pastors at once. Apparently the other missionaries feel the same way, because there were at least 20 of us there yesterday. It was a bit over-crowded, actually. I met some new folks and got my foot in the door of a few churches. I had a few comments about the possibility of future support, which was very encouraging.

In other news . . . I am going to return to France for a few days over Easter weekend to settle the last bit of my affairs there. I need to sell my furniture that I left in storage, close out my bank account, and other business. I'm looking forward to catching up/saying goodbye to my friends there, too.
