FROM THE PASTOR

Dear Church Family,



As most of you are aware I have been busy praying and seeking a person to lead our worship with the help of four very capable and devoted FCC family members.
We found a person and discussed at length at the previous board meeting a desire to call Brian Nixon as our new Worship Pastor. Brian has been in our services and led our worship on two occasions. After much prayer, he and his wife have sought the heart of God and determined God has other plans for them at this time. I personally wish them all the best that God has for them. I considered them a joy to meet and get acquainted.


So the search continues. For the summer I am scheduling a number of different people to come lead us in worship. There will be varying worship styles and tastes in music. We are a diverse-multigenerational congregation, so this will give us an opportunity to be enriched and exposed to different approaches to worship. My prayer is that over the course of the next few weeks we will be excited at the wonderful possibilities that await us as we explore new things and new methods of reaching others and experiencing the glory of God through music and worship. I would very much covet your prayers as this search progresses.


Blessings,
Jay
