I have been honored to serve as your president this past year. The year in God’s providence has proven to be both a challenge and a great encouragement. I would like to thank past presidents, Rev. Campbell and Elder Luquette, for their help. Also, I would like to thank Rev. Muether for his help and encouragement. Working with Rev. Grossmann and Elder Van Heest has been a blessing.
The RCUS celebrated her tricentennial; our Lord is truly faithful in all His deeds! During this past year, Covenant East Classis, in particular, and the RCUS, in general, have had sorrow. We had one church and one minister leave our denomination. While they departed for a sister communion, we will miss them and do pray for their continued sustaining by God.
God continues to sustain our work, and we give Him all the glory for it. As 1 Corinthians 1:30-31 says: “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God–and righteousness and sanctification and redemption–that, as it is written, ‘He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.’”
The Inter-Church Relations Committee made visits this year to four of our sister churches’ meetings. Rev. Dawn visited Classis Central US of the URC. Rev. Grossmann visited the OPC Presbytery of Wisconsin and Minnesota twice. Rev. Potter visited the Atlantic Presbytery of the RPCNA.
