Senior Pastor Search Committee Slate
to Be Considered this Sunday
A Church Conference will be called at the end of both worship services this Sunday, Sept. 24, to vote on a recommendation from the Diaconate to approve a slate of seven names to comprise our Senior Pastor Search Committee. The slate was approved unanimously by the Diaconate at their quarterly meeting on Monday, Sept. 20. According to our Covenant of Community, the slate will now be brought to the congregation for final approval. The slate consists of the following seven Second B members:
Pam Blassingame
Kara Darnell
Ashley Ebeling
Bobby Ebeling
Morgan MacKenzie
Nancy Sharp
Jim Smith
Here is the direction from our Covenant of Community as to procedure:
"Election –The Deacon Executive Committee and Vision Leadership Team Chair will interview willing nominees and present a slate of seven (7) to the Diaconate for approval. The Leadership Team Chair will present the slate to the congregation for a vote. A simple majority is required to elect the slate. Nominations from the floor will not be accepted."
Over 70 names were submitted by the congregation to the Deacon Executive Committee for consideration for the Senior Pastor Search Committee. Almost half of those nominated declined to be considered at this time.The Deacon Executive Committee worked very hard over the past two weeks to create a slate of willing nominees who would represent the diversity of our congregation as well as represent the many ministries and missions that reflect our core values. These seven members also represent a range of ages and are balanced in terms of gender and length of membership. We have two members, Jim Smith and Pam Blassingame, who served on our last Senior Pastor Search Committee to provide guidance and experience to the slate. There are two members from the same family but not from the same household who were chosen for their representative ministries and age groups. No staff members or their spouses were considered.

DeepWisdom
CourageousFaith
Who has time these days to search for God?
Breaking away from the rat race to get a new perspective isn't new. Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, John the Baptist, Paul, and, of course, Jesus all stumbled into the wilderness while they were looking for God. Exploring new spiritual
boundaries can get us in shape for some tough patches down the road. Seeking God in the wilderness can leave you breathless.
If you are ready for an adventure, prepare to get a bit lost out there, to test your boundaries, to find God in some amazing places, and to discover you're stronger
than you thought you were.
