An Elder Moment
September 5, 2015 By
We welcome Pastor Nik as our Interim Minister.
He has been with us for two weeks now and is settling
in as our Pastoral leader. He will be meeting with our
transition team very soon in order to get the ball
rolling on what we need to prepare ourselves for
matching up with a search for our Settled Pastor. As
we are getting familiar with each other, please take
the time to reach out to Pastor Nik and introduce
yourself. One awesome way to do this is to offer to
take Pastor Nik out for lunch. This could be after
worship on Sunday or during the week if your
schedule permits. We encourage all of our members
to participate in this time of conversation for Pastor
Nik to get to know us better.
As worship evolves over our time with Pastor
Nik, please be sure to let us know what is working and
what is not. We will do our best to accommodate
what we can for changes. Talk to an Elder or our
Worship team leaders; Ginger Alley and Tina Yarber.
We extend our sympathies to the family of Nell
Teater. There was a wonderful celebration moment of
her life. Please keep all of her family in prayer for this
time of transition.
Pace, Passion, and Purpose!

AN ELDER MOMENT
August 18, 2015 By
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!

?? WHAT IS NORMAL ??
July 23, 2015 By
As we have entered into a time of transition, some
things remain the same, some things will change, and some
things may still be there but appear quite different. Our
worship service is not exempt. We have different folks giving
the message (for now). We have new deacons and elders for
the 2015-2016 year. As we strive to keep everything going, I’m
sure that there will be things that are, inadvertently, omitted
or missed. For this we apologize in advance.
As we go forward, please work with us. If there is
something that you would like to recommend, please do so. If
we miss something during worship, let us know. If there is
something new that you feel might add to the worship
experience, please tell us that as well. However, I ask that you
do not tell us your ideas, but please put them in writing; send a
note, an email or give us a handwritten note. (Charlotte often
says that some things she tells me goes in one ear only to fall
right out of the other ear.) Sundays are very busy times these
days as we go forward in the absence of a pastor. Therefore, I
ask that you forward your written communiques to Cliff or me.
We promise to do our best to try to keep things running
smoothly.
I also want to update you on the work of the elders in
searching for an interim pastor. The elders have interviewed a
candidate and another interview is scheduled. We will keep
you apprised of progress.
As we are having a number of different individuals
deliver our message, we all need to express our thanks to
Rachel Eve. She is doing an excellent job of putting all of our
music together for services.
Thanks for your help in keeping the ship afloat.

Saturday, May 16, 2015
After a long winter there’s a lot of spring cleaning to be done to get Camp Christian back in shape for the summer and each year we Men make it part of our Ministry and Mission to help ready the camp for the summer season and the campers and conferees to come. And thanks to some generous donations to cover the cost of food there is no cost for Saturday meals. Please RSVP online at www.ccinoh.org even if you are just coming on Saturday so that we may plan for the meals and the work projects.
Past work has included mowing, weed-whacking, plumbing, retrieving picnic bench building, painting, and sweeping, No matter your age or ability there’s something you can do! Nobody is too young or too old to lend a hand.
