The Consistory has concurred with the recommendation from the Search Committee regarding the nomination of two pastoral candidates, a husband and wife, for a candidate weekend, September 24 and 25. A potluck dinner will be held on Saturday evening for you to meet our potential pastors. The candidates will deliver the sermons for both worship services on Sunday morning. A congregational meeting will follow the 10:30 service for discussion and voting on the candidates to serve as our pastoral leaders. Please mark your calendars to attend these activities. Your presence and input are critical to the life of our church.

The potluck dinner will be held on Saturday, September 24, at 6:00 pm. Please bringa side dish or dessert to share. Fried chicken, ham and drinks will be provided. This will be an opportunity to meet and greet our pastoral candidates. Children of all ages are encouraged to participate in this opportunity along with their families to become acquainted with two wonderful people.
