By Dotson, Todd

After an overwhelming majority vote the congregation affirmed James "Jim" Wright as our Interim Teaching Pastor.
As of January 1st and for the extended period he will be handling all the teaching roles on Sunday's and Wednesday's.  On Sunday we are studying the book of Nehemiah and on Wednesday nights we are learning about the heart of a shepherd.  The Wednesday night study will help the church identify their next pastor when the Lord reveals him to them.
Continue to check back as we update the search committee's progress.
