Together we share all of the benefits of salvation as God&#8217;s new covenant people: forgiveness, adoption, the Spirit, and on and on. Some are shepherds. But we&#8217;re all bothers and sisters. We&#8217;re a family. 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 28, at 6:30 PM with dinner together at 5:30 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 on 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 in person or through email.\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/about\/leadership\/\">Click here<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0for faces and emails.<\/li>\n<li>Show up with your question on the 30th. 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 For a few recaps from previous years, click\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/?p=2425#sthash.YujuANu5.dpbs\">here<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/?p=2469#sthash.X2wyaXMd.dpbs\">here<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/?p=5313#sthash.kGOpMRME.dpbs\">here<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/?p=5724\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good questions and thoughtful answers are important for healthy relationships, and our relationship as shepherds and flock are&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/2016\/09\/submit-your-questions-for-our-elders-qa-2\/\">Continue Reading &rsaquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[67],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5964"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5964"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5964\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5965,"href":"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5964\/revisions\/5965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.desertspringschurch.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
