WEEKLY DEVOTION
Circle this place by day and by night;
Circle it in the winter, circle it in the summer.
Look down upon it with your smile;
Lift it up with all your strength.
Keep far from it all that harms;
Keep all that's good within Christ's arms.
Let us enjoy his presence now.
-Ray Simpson

Assistant Director of Youth Ministry search
|
Remember the story in Exodus about how the Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years? That's a bit how the members of the ADYM search committee feel these days!
This search has been a longer process than we thought it would be when we first met back in August, and we're continuing to listen for God's leading in our search. We trust that the Spirit is at work in all of our conversations with candidates and will us guide us to the right person for FPC youth and families. As always, we're grateful for your prayers and encouragement!
