On Sunday, January 25, 2026, Parkview installed Lois Van Beers as a new elder. By joining the governing Session, Lois has become a ruling elder. Ruling elders have responsibilities in leadership, governance, and worship. They discern God’s calling for the life of a congregation and measure its faithfulness to that call. Parkview’s Session meets monthly to make decisions regarding church operations, finance, and policy. Thank you, Lois, for taking on this important role at Parkview. Many thanks to Betsy Eskridge and Haruko Sakakibara for the photos from the installation.
