Meet possible interim pastor/Church announcements

[Miriam Elliott]

Mark, Council Chair, announced at the 9/4 service that James Rissler, who we are considering as a possible part time interim pastor, will be delivering the sermon on Sunday 9/11. If hired, James is available to come, from Atlanta, 2 Sundays/month and do zoom services on the other Sundays. As well as work with the Worship Team and Elders on worship planning and pastoral issues.The Council/Elders have been in discussion with him during the past month. 

 

His visit on 9/11 will be followed by a potluck lunch. Please contribute a dish.

 

James was most recently the pastor of Atlanta Mennonite Fellowship. And is a past Chair of the Central District Conference. He facilitated the CDC Listening Session at Emmanuel back in March so many of you met him then or at past fellowship trips to Georgia. 

 

There will be an opportunity for discernment and then a congregational meeting following the Sunday 9/18 service to decide on whether or not to offer him the interim position. 

 

This is your opportunity to meet him and have input on the hiring decision.
