We rejoice together at the election of seven new men to serve as officers at Ambassador. Tony Clark and Steve Brown were elected as Ruling Elders and Joe Ballou, Buck Hodges, Matt Peedin, John Page and Scott Smith were elected as our first team of Deacons. Please keep these men and their families in your prayers as they seek to shepherd and serve God’s flock at Ambassador.
On February 5th, we submitted our site plans to the town of Apex. This included the site layout, landscaping, building elevations, and more (14 pages of drawings). We should begin to get feedback later this month from them on the issues that we need to address. I’d encourage everyone to pray that this goes well. Getting through this process quickly would be a blessing!
This Sunday (February 18th) after the worship service, we will have a congregational meeting for the purpose of electing officers. After a thorough process which included congregational nominations, elder/deacon training this past fall, written and personal interviews with each candidate, the Session is pleased to put forward a slate of candidates for election
The slate of candidates is as follows:
For the office of Ruling Elder:
Steve Brown
Tony Clark
For the office of Deacon:
Joe Ballou
Buck Hodges
John Page
Matt Peedin
Scott Smith

Each year we sponsor a team in the T-ball and Machine Pitch leagues run by the Apex Jaycees. If you have a son or daughter (age 5-8) interested in playing, you can register online during the month of February at the Jaycee’s website. You can request being on the Ambassador team. We don’t have anything to do with running of the league and registration is on a first-come basis, so sign up early.
In my sermon on Sunday, I referenced a book by Lou Priolo entitled, “The Heart of Anger.” This book deals specifically with the issue of anger in children, and how we as parents can help them understand and deal with anger. However, I found chapters 7 & 8 helpful in terms of how to identify and address biblically the root issues of anger.
