Series
Title:
The
Living Word of God
The
Bible is the best selling book ever written. How is
something written so long ago relevant today? How are
we to understand it given it’s age and the fact that
it was written for an entirely different culture and
people? This series will hopefully ignite renewed
passion and interest in God’s word.

Pastoral
Change Process
A Note from the Search Committee
On Monday, January 26, the
Search Committee met with Rev. Peters, who gave us 26
pastoral profiles.
Our task as a committee is to carefully review
these profiles and begin the process of selecting
individuals we would like to interview further.
Won’t you pray with us as we seek the guidance of
the Spirit of God in our selection process.
As we seek the Lord’s will, we are confident
that we will be led to His choice for our new pastor.
Our Committee has reviewed
all of the pastoral candidates profiles we received, and selected nine of them to contact.
An
introductory letter was sent to each of them.
Those candidates who
showed further interest were mailed packets of
information about our church. The packets
included a profile of our church and community,
bulletins, newsletter, constitution and bylaws, and a
DVD of various music groups and mission teams.
When we receive further responses from the candidates,
we will begin the formal interview process. We
have requested that the candidates send a tape or DVD
of their worship service.
Please continue to pray for
God's wisdom and direction as we seek our new
pastor. If
you have questions about the process any member of the
Search Committee will be happy to answer them. We covet
your prayers and encouragement during this search
process.
Your
Search Committee:
Margie Castro, Bob Klatt, Paul Nelson, Kylee
Sandquist, Jeri Williams, Carol Windham.
