SelfStudy/Interim Pastor

Hey Team!

I am thrilled to tell you that the deacons unanimously voted last night to present Dr. David Gardner to the church as our interim pastor. Pursuant to our by-laws, the church will vote on this recommendation at our next business meeting on December 12.

As many of you know, Dr. Gardner is a former pastor at FBC (approx. 1977 - 1984). He is an experienced, mature pastor and one of the most gifted preachers I have ever heard. I love him and I am confident he will be a tremendous blessing to our church during this time of transition. Perhaps most importantly, he has a great love and concern for our church. He specifically mentioned this recently when we began discussing this interim position with him. There is no one else in the world that I would rather have for this position at this time.

We are continuing our study of "Sevem Words to Change Your Family" this week by studying "Blessing." I appreciate the good, candid discussion we had last Sunday regarding "Forgiveness." I pray that we would all continue to realize how important that concept is for our families, and in all of our relationships.

The countdown is on for our annual Christmas Party on December 14 at the Selfs. The festivities begin at 6:00 p.m. and should be over within a reasonable period of time. Feel free to bring friends and/or prospects for our class.

See you soon.

Press on....
Andrew
