?? WHAT IS NORMAL ??

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.
