The Elders have been dutifully fulfilling the task
of finding an Interim Pastor for us. This has been a
labor of love and an opportunity to learn more about
each other in the process. Thank you to all the
members of our church that have shared their
comments and feelings about the candidates that we
presented to you. It was not an easy decision. Due to
a few differentiating factors, Rev. Nick Donges was
called as our Interim Minister. Rev. Donges will have
standing office hours as well as making hospital calls
and taking care of any special service needs in the
congregation. Rev. Donges will help guide us through
the process that we need to complete to prepare our
church as a candidate for a new minister.
The Elders will be establishing a Transition
Team. We hope to have this team in place prior to
Rev. Donges coming on board, so that they are ready
to start. If you are approached for this team, please
prayerfully consider taking on this role. It is your
opportunity to serve your church as well as being a
part of helping to create the future of the church that
you will pass on to the next generation.
As we continue through this process, the Elders
will strive to keep everyone informed of the process
and the progress. This is a time for us all to pull
together and surround each other with love and
support.
Pace, Purpose and Passion!
