Word of the Week: Committee
I get it - committee isn’t exactly the most enticing word for this week. It sounds more like work and less like a blog post that you want to read in your free time. But if you’ve made it past those first two sentences, you opened it anyway and that’s probably because you’re curious about the state of our search for a senior pastor.
We held a congregational meeting on Sunday after service to approve the pastor search committee that was proposed to you by the session. That committee was composed of:
- Aaron Andreson (as chair)
- Bill Freels
- Angela Genz
- Doreen Jenkins
- Matt Johnson
- Andrea Kester
- Jim Morton
This committee will be leading our search for a senior pastor, serving as the first point of contact with possible candidates.
If you’re not serving on the committee, how can you help in the search?
1. Pray for these committee members – Serving on the committee comes with a time cost, which impacts other areas of life. Additionally, service opens any Christian up to attacks from the enemy and this is no exception. You have the list above, so please pray for these brothers and sisters.
2. Share your thoughts – If you have questions, comments, or concerns about the search process, please let one of the elders know. You can find a list of our elders here or on the back of the bulletin in worship. The elders are always eager to hear from you.
3. Pray for our next pastor – The Lord Jesus Christ is the head of the church and that means he’s the one who will bring us our next pastor. God has prepared a man for exactly this moment and we trust he will make his will known to us. It’s never too early to start praying for your pastor!
That’s your pastor search update. Stay tuned!
