Ministry Leadership Team has accepted the resignation of Jacquie Landis in her role as worship team leader. Jacquie shared with both Mark Reiff and Pastor Randy that after prayer and much thought she feels it is time for her to step away from this responsibility. The timing and plans for transition are yet to be determined. Jacquie has graciously agreed to work with us in this process. MLT is grateful for Jacquie s faithful commitment to this role over the past several years. We will keep the congregation informed as plans are made going forward.
