CHAPLAINS NEWSLETTER

September 2007

Endorser's Notes

FINANCES
We appreciate the generous financial support of our chaplains. Since we do not have denominational headquarters support, we depend heavily upon the fair-share contributions of chaplains to cover about two-thirds of our operating costs. As we come to the last quarter of the year, it would be very helpful if individual chaplains review their overall tithes and charitable giving and either begin regular contributions or bring your regular gifts up to date. Your support makes this ministry possible. We are committed to using the resources frugally and effectively for the benefit of chaplains.

A special word of thanks to those of our retired chaplains who continue to contribute to the ministry. We are grateful for your continued support and participation in the ministry. I would like to encourage those of you who have participated in the past, to continue to assist and share in the ministry.

CHAPLAINS CONFERENCE
We continue to receive inquiries concerning a Conference. Since we had a Conference in July 2006 and a change of endorser this past December, we did not plan a Chaplains Conference for 2007. We will review options for 2008. Due to the limited number of Chaplains who can attend due to Optempo and Deployments, we will most likely attempt to conduct a Chaplain meeting in conjunction with one or more of the Lectureships for 2008. I will continue endorser visits to Chaplain Schools when we have students enrolled and to sites where several chaplains are together, which from Jim’s experience brings together at a central location almost as many chaplains as usually attended the conferences.
