The General Conference of Elders selected two new members for the UCGIA Council of Elders and returned two men to the Council May 6. Their three-year Council term begins with the new fiscal year on July 1.

Robert Berendt was selected for the international position. He is pastor of the Edmonton, Alberta, congregation and serves three other congregations as well. He has been on the UCG–Canada National Council since its inception. He also served in Europe from 1987 to 1992.

Mr. Berendt taught high school science for four years before attending Ambassador College. He has pastored churches since 1971.

Roy Holladay was previously on the Transitional Board and the Council of Elders from 1995 to 2002. He served as chairman of the Council from 2000 to 2002, when he was selected as president. He served in that position until 2005, and is now pastor of the Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Rome, Georgia, congregations.

Reselected to the Council were Clyde Kilough, president of UCGIA since 2005, and Vic Kubik, pastor of the Lafayette and Terre Haute, Indiana, congregations. Mr. Kubik also serves as senior pastor for Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

Completing their Council terms June 30 will be Les McCullough, who has served on the Council since 1997, and Leon Walker, who has served on the Council since 1996. UN
