3 A special announcement: At our congregational meeting last week, the Governing Board shared that they have hired Pr. Scott Trevithick to be our Sunday morning pastor beginning in June. He will continue to provide member care, Bible study and staff support on Tuesdays but will now lead worship at all three services. The Governing Board feels that this consistent presence at all of our worship services on Sunday will help our congregation to patiently wait while our new pastor is being determined. Pr. Rick Mills is planning to move back to the Midwest at some point this summer to be closer to family. His last Sunday here will be May 29. Pr. Scott Trevithick Thank you so much for your flexibility and support! Even though summer is coming soon, please try not to take a summer break from worship! We miss you when you are not here!!
