A team has been commissioned to search for a Transitional Pastor in advance of the efforts to find our next called Pastor. The team is composed of four Elders: Mary Helen Cone, Tim O’Neill, Emily Sloan, and Erika Sundrud. Since the departure of Rev. Dan Commerford in May, the team has reviewed over 25 Pastor Information Forms (PIFs) and conducted three interviews. The team has scheduled another interview for this week. Also, the Session has approved funds to allow us to bring a prospective Pastor(s) for a church campus tour. We are as anxious as each of you to call a Transitional Pastor, but the available candidate pool is limited. Please continue to pray for the search team and our church’s leadership as we continue to navigate the process and fill this important position.

MUSIC THIS WEEK
To mark the last weekend of the summer season, we are celebrating by hosting the Red Shoes Band again and looking forward to their casual approach to songs of the spirit. They will bring us four tunes, Love Train, Sitting in Limbo, Redemption and Mr. Bojangles, each one with a vocal sounding so close to the original artist you will have to keep your eyes open to see Jimmy singing, Come, listen and enjoy this last taste of a relaxed and easy going beat.
