This past saturday we had the joy of laying hands on a new elder, Brother "Luis Perez". Brother Luis is married to "Mayra" and they have one daughter "Alexis Faith". Luis has been serving the past year and a half as an elder in training and after doing so has agreed to step in to full service as an Elder at North Dallas Family Church. 1 Peter 5:1-4 says: " To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve;3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away." Luis job will be to assist the Pastor in fulfilling the great comission by making disciples and watching out over the flock and overseeing the activities of the church. Luis and Mayra have been members of our church for over five years and were with us during the early days when we met at the Holiday Inn Hotel. Luis is employed by Buckner International and serves in the creative art department. He also assists us with all of our graphic art work for our church. Mayra works for Metro PCS and has served in womens ministry for several years at our church. Their daughter "Alexis" is now a member of our childrens choir. We are very proud of the Perez Family, their decision to serve in leadership and to take on the great responsibility of being an Elder at North Dallas Family Church.
