Thank you for continuing to pray for our churches in transitions of leadership...
Next week, we will update the list of churches with pastoral changes. Until then, please pray for all areas of the transition: wisdom & unity in churches as they discern God's leading; peace & provision for pastoral families as they make changes; finally, pray that God's kingdom will grow and that His people will flourish in His love.
