Good News!
The Presbytery of Western North Carolina’s
Committee On Ministry, in its monthly meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 4th, approved the agreement that the Session has made with the Rev. Dr. Kathryn J. Cameron to be our supply pastor from February 11, 2020 until June 11, 2020.
She will be with us every Sunday, except one in May, and will be in Lincolnton one other day a week; which may vary but will probably be Tuesday or Wednesday.
An official Session vote will take place next Tuesday, Feb. 11th at the monthly Stated Session Meeting.
She will be in the pulpit starting on February 16, when we can hear how much longer her sermons are when Holy Communion is not part of the Worship Service.
