Sunday, September 26
5:00 p.m.- Music Minister Vote -- The official vote will take place Sunday evening after members have had time to worship Sunday morning and pray through the afternoon. We do ask that you take specific time during the month of September to pray for this decision. The decision of the church will be announced Sunday night after the vote.
As a committee, we have been committed to pray and search diligently on the behalf of the body of Kingsville Baptist. We recognize that this has been a long process, and we want to thank the faithful people who have served our church Sunday after Sunday by leading us in worship. All of you have strengthened our faith and encouraged our spirits in this search. We cannot say "thank you" enough, but we pray that the Lord has and will abundantly bless you for the way you have used your gifts to edify the body. For our members, thank you for being patient and prayerful in this process. We long to obey God and serve you diligently, and we have worked and prayed to this end. We love you deeply. May God be glorified in it all, for He is worthy.
In Him,
David Huffman (Chairman)
