Pastor Update
...We are extremely grateful to Dr. Phil Jamieson, who has been filling our pulpit this month. The D.S. continues to work on finding a permanent pastor for the church. For the month of September, Rev. Will Wells will fill the pulpit. I have been in contact with him and he is sending some information for me to include in the bulletin and the next newsletter. I have known he and his wife many years, and I think you will be pleased. Your patience is very much appreciated during this time. Terri,
