AGM 2021 Update

03Jun, 2021

On behalf of the Board of Elders at SDBC, I would like to thank everyone who was able to participate in our AGM this year. Due to the current restrictions on gatherings, our meeting took place through a livestream which certainly was not our preference, but I think it was still a meaningful time. I hope you were encouraged to hear about how we, as a board and staff, have been looking forward and planning for this time, coming out of a post-COVID period. There has been so much planning, changing of plans, and reworking of plans as the restrictions on gatherings have changed, but our focus on why has not. 

As a board and staff, we remain committed to share the love of Jesus with our community since we know that it is only Jesus that truly gives hope to all. I am also pleased that as a membership we have affirmed Dylan Kruger as an elder who will be joining our board. I have gotten to know Dylan and his wife, Katie, a little over the past couple of years and I think Dylan will make a great addition to our board.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank Dale Leschert who is coming off the board this year. Dale has served on the board faithfully for many years and has been a part of many significant changes at SDBC over those years. I have truly appreciated his knowledge, wisdom, and courage to speak and share his opinions when necessary. His love of Christ and his church is at the forefront of all that Dale does. He will be missed but I do hope that God grants him rest as he takes some time away from the responsibilities of being on the board and that God shows Dale where he is leading him for this next season. If you have an opportunity, please express your thanks to Dale. He has spent countless hours, faithfully and joyfully, serving God's church and his contribution will be a blessing to SDBC for many years to come.

Get Ready! was the theme of our AGM (click here to watch the Vision portion of the meeting). I trust that in preparation for the work that God has prepared for us, for his glory, we would get ready. Please continue to pray for the staff, the elders, and those whom God is already putting on your hearts to share the love of Jesus with.
