This is obvious in marriage, parenting, and at work.<\/p>\n<p>Good questions and thoughtful answers are important in the context of the church as well, perhaps especially between shepherds and the flock. And so DSC&#8217;s elders\u00c2\u00a0are available in the halls around church, by email, and once each year we set aside an evening to take questions in the context of a corporate gathering. We call it, an &#8220;Elders Q&amp;A.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Our next Elders Q&amp;A will take place on the last Wednesday of this month, September 24, at 6:30 PM.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a question, submit it. If you don&#8217;t, think of one and then submit it. Here are four ways to ask your questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Submit your question using your bulletin Comment Card next Sunday and drop that in an offering box.<\/li>\n<li>Email your question to info@desertspringschurch.org.<\/li>\n<li>Communicate your question for the Q&amp;A to an elder directly.<\/li>\n<li>Show up with your question on the 24th. The elders will take some questions from a mic in the course of the evening.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, we appreciate your questions early. This helps us notice recurring themes and spend our time in a way that best serves the congregation.\u00c2\u00a0Any questions that are not addressed at the Q&amp;A will be answered through the\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/\">DSC Blog<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0or by email.<\/p>\n<p>Get acquainted with DSC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s elders by reading their biographies on the\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/about\/leadership\/\">Leadership Page.<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Also, audio from previous Elder Q&amp;A evenings is available at our Messages Page under the topic \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<a href=\"http:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/messages\/By_Series\/Elders_Q&amp;A\/\">Elder Q&amp;A<\/a>.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Questions are crucial for understanding, unity, and fruitfulness in almost any relationship.
