The Eighth Day recommitment Sunday will be on Pentecost Sunday, May 15.  At Eighth Day we recommitment to membership each year to give us an opportunity to look at  ourselves and our commitment to the community.  We intend that membership at Eighth Day, whether as a covenant member or a community member, is a conscious decision that we make every year rather than sliding unconsciously out of the community.

1. If you are not a community member and would like to become one, please contact anyone of us in the Servant Leaders mission group.  We are:

  1. Marcia Harrington mharr927@yahoo.com or (301) 512-5470:
  2. Kent Beduhn krbeduhn@gmail.com or (301) 704-4002, and
  3. Kate Lasso klasso@aol.com or (202) 744-0440
  4. Maria Barker martbar@gmail.com or (301) 549-8487
  5. David Hilfiker dwhilfiker@gmail.com or (202) 387-2347

In preparation you might go to the Eighth Day website www.8th-day.org and click on the tab “Basic Info.”  Then click on the submenu item “Membership” and it will give you a number of articles with information about membership at Eighth Day.

If you are already a community member,  please consider the following:

  1. If you are in a mission group, please bring up the question of recommitment and discern with your group the wisdom of recommitting.
  2. If you are not in a mission group, please contact another person in the community whom you trust and have a conversation with that person about your desires for membership and whether you want to recommit.
  3. If you would like to consider covenant membership, please talk with a member of the Servant Leaders mission group  listed above.

Before you recommit this year, we would like to be sure that you have considered the issue deeply and worked with at least one other person on it.
