For several years the church has allowed me to take extended time away each year to renew and refresh.  I have always taken it in the summer, usually June.

This year it will be November. We will have pulpit guests in the morning services and our staff will cover Sunday and Wednesday evenings.

Shannon Slover will handle pastoral needs and Wayne Pinkerton will cover administrative matters in my absence.  I am very grateful for these two men.  What this staff does for me, not just when I am away, but day-to-day has added years to my ministry. 

Thank you for your prayers and support.
