It was so good to be back in the saddle again and be with you. As I might have said yesterday, most of my work will continue at home since maneuvering in and out of the car becomes difficult. We had a good meeting of the Board following worship. Thanks to all who get their reports in and share them via email with other members of the Board. This was my last Board meeting with you and I only need to complete an annual report as I wind down my ministry with you.
This leads me to stress that annual reports are due in the office by the first of June. This year the plans are to print a very limited number of copies and the annual report will be submitted electronically via email to help save on paper costs.
Summer church camp season will soon be here. To qualify for the early bird rate and receive half off your tuition rate, camp registration forms need to be turned in by April 23rd so that we can get them to the Regional Office prior to May 1. After May 1st, you will be responsible for the difference between the half off cost and the full registration fee.
Please be in prayer for our Regional Office and the sudden resignation of Dr. William H. Edwards.
Holy Week begins April 9th with Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday Worship, Easter Sonrise at 7 a.m. and our joyful Easter worship at 10:30. As a part of our Easter Worship, a baptismal service is being planned. Let us look forward to these special times as we seek to be captured by God’s Empowering vision.
Join us in worship as we welcome the Reverend Dave Wess who will be sharing an opportunity for ministry called “One Market and Eatery” in downtown Middletown.
With God’s Love,
Pastor Nik
