Search Committee Update We ask that the congregation pray our work with us. Specifically, can you pray that we would be of one mind about important matters, have freedom to explore our options while using wisdom and discernment in our discussions? Please pray that the candidates who apply be full of God’s spirit and equipped to do His work here. We will be relying upon prayer individually, as a search committee and on the congregation’s prayer. Thank you for entrusting this privilege to us!
