No
nominations were accepted for the Spiritual Advisors Post and
Rev. Dr. David Ravinder continued his term.
During
the early part of the year, Mr. Ajit Lakra proposed the
expansion of the Board of trustee membership by taking
experienced ex members in and the Board approved the
nomination of Mr. Rajani Kantha Rao as a new member.
Mr. Ebenezer Mallepalle resigned the presidentship and
Mr. Ajay was nominated by the board of trustees to assume the
role of the President until the end of the term.
During
the year, the UECF was able to secure a place of worship in
Edison, thanks to the efforts of Johnsanjay, the youth leader.
This place located at the Church of Nazarene at 70
Jefferson Blvd. is a central location with excellent
facilities. The
UECF is grateful to the Pastor Rev. Tom Sanders, the church
council members, and the congregation who graciously provided
UECF the privilege of using their church and facilities.
The shift to the Edison location proved to be very
popular. The
membership increased, and so did our receipts.
The UECF supported revival meetings hosted by the
Church of Nazarene in which Bro.
Joshua Daniel was the guest speaker.
The year saw a new pastor supporting our worship
service programs. Rev.
Steve Nash became a regular pastor bringing the word of God on
the first Sundays of the month with Rev Sunil Balasundaram
taking charge of the second and third Sundays and Pastor David
Ravinder in charge of the communion Sunday.
Guest preachers were given the fifth Sundays.
Mrs. Anna Bhujbhal was the regular fifth Sunday
preacher on most of the occasions. |
