Weekly Greeting - April 30th

This past week while I was at Duke Divinity School for Continuing Ed training, we received word from the Conference and District regarding staff changes at Bethlehem.

Bo Turner, our Staff-Parish Relations Committee Chairperson and I were made aware such changes were possible and have been in discussion with Dr. Vona Wilson, our District Superintendent and with one another.

Our Youth Director, Steve Lefebvre will be commissioned as a Provisional Elder at the June 19 - 21 TWK Annual Conference and will receive his first appointment to a local church in another District.  It is exciting to see Steve following his call into ministry as he continues the process leading to ordination.

Our Associate Pastor, Rev. Felicia Kumar is also projected to serve a new appointment. We are grateful for her ministry with us and look forward to hearing about her ministry in her new setting.

Please join me in thanking Steve and Felicia for all they have done for us.

We also want to thank John Knorr for serving with us as he steps down as our Worship Coordinator on May 31 after taking a new full-time job and moving to Murfreesboro.

We have been blessed to work with such gifted and talented people. While it is hard to say goodbye, we know God will continue to use them and bless them and bless others through them!
