Announcement:On Sunday, June 9 it was announced that a “target” date for Pastor Dan and Sue’s “retirement” will be late spring of 2021.The plan is to form a search committee who will write and create a church profile of our congregation; inform the denomination of our intent to call a lead/senior pastor; and begin the search process.Once God leads us to that person and a call is accepted Pastor Dan will become a “transition” pastor and help the new senior pastor acclimate to his/her role for 3-6 months.The length of this transition will depend on the age and experience of the new pastor.

Communion:Next Sunday we will celebrate Holy Communion as a congregation

Thank you to everyone who extended happy birthday wishes to me on my birthday earlier this month.The cards and gifts are much appreciated. – Pastor Dan
