I would like to share some of our exciting plans for the fall as well as some logistics. Let’s not let this stop us from soaking in the last couple of weeks of summer though.
First of all, it is with a very grateful heart we say good bye to Pastor Larsen on his last Sunday with us on September 1st (Labor Day weekend). His presence and service as our Summer Supply Pastor is a gift. On September 8th, we welcome Pastor Dave Snyder to lead us in worship. He served as our pastor from 1989 to 1997 and now resides with his wife, Susan in New Jersey. On September 15th, we welcome back Pastor Luther! I look forward to see how God will work through us with Pastor Luther in the next year!
In the fall, Adult Forums will be held on the first and second Sundays of the month after the service. This will begin in October and continue through December. At this point, we will re-evaluate to see if the schedule needs any modifications. Mark Edwards and Russ Hilliard are the coordinators. Please contact them if you have ideas or thoughts for future forums. At times, we may have an activity or ministry team event at the same time as a forum, expanding the choices available to members.
The third and fourth Sundays will be used for special meetings or events. Some of these may be Council-led, and some maybe team ministry led. One special meeting has already been set for October 20th. The Council will review proposed changes to our Bylaws. We will be voting on these changes next January.
