God, we give you thanks and praise for this day, for this is the day that you've made and you've called us to rejoice and to be glad in it. God, we give you thanks for this opportunity to come together as we have leaders in the community who comes together. Lord, to lead in different areas of our community, big and small. Father, we pray that your hand would be upon this meeting. We pray that you would lead and guide those who lead us, and that ultimately they would be leading with the interest of all the members of this community at heart. Father, we pray that you would give wisdom, that you would give leadership, that you would give direction, and that you would be pleased by what happens at this time. We give this time to you, praying these things in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. I'm glad you're of the United States of America. And Jesus is the republic from which it stands one nation under God in the business with liberty. Thank you, Pastor. Do you have any upcoming events at your church or anything you'd like to talk about? Yes, so we're uh we're basically a new church community here in the county. Uh we've been uh live and planted for about seven months, and one of the things that we're preparing to do this year is to have a clothing community clothing um drive and giveaway. So we want to be able to be a blessing, even though we're small right now. We want to be able to be a blessing by uh, you know, sometimes we outgrow clothes, and sometimes we just don't wear stuff in our classes, but they can be a blessing to other people. So we're preparing for that, and um, it is open for anyone in terms of giving away or swapping. So, where in St. Leonard? Yep, so we meet at Crossroads Church at 150 Ballroad. We have a space down there in the basement that's just ours. Okay. Nice. Do you have times? So our normal worship service is on Saturday evenings at 6 p.m. Just offering something different for the community here. Uh, and the giveaway will happen. I'm thinking November, December ish. Okay. Yeah. Well, thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. President, I move that we approve and adopt the agenda as submitted. Second. So having a motion and a second to approve the agenda submitted. Is there any discussion on that? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye. Aye.
