We have a new Assistant Pastor!

As of last weekend we have a new Assistant Pastor at our church. This will make filling in the pulpit on pastor's weekends off much easier. (Our pastor takes one weekend a month off because he works a full-time job in addition to pastoring the church.) Brent is a former Seventh-day Adventist who felt a call to the ministry, but didn't agree with all the Adventist teaching and so couldn't in good conscience become an Adventist pastor. Him and his wife, Carla, and their children drive about an hour to come to our church every week. Brent has been filling in for pastor on pastor's weekends off. Brent and Carla both joined the church a while back and at our last business meeting we voted to make Brent an Assistant Pastor. It's one step in a long line of things he'll be doing to eventually become a pastor of his own church.

I need to update the church Web site with his picture!

Here's a picture of a portion of our new bulletin with his name under pastor's name. It looks weird seeing his name on there. I'm so used to seeing the "old" bulletin every week. I've taken out easy identifying information. If you want to know the address and phone number you'll have to look them up.
