UPDATE FROM SPRC   

Our committee met with our District Superintendent, Kathleen Weber, near the end of August. She spoke with us, in-depth, regarding our pastoral needs. We may be month to month for a while as the cabinet continues their search for us.

We have now received a list of visiting pastors for September:

               September 4^th Rev. Tom Tucker (retired)

            (This is the first Sunday of September, so Communion will be available.)

               September 11^th Rev. Kathleen Weber

               September 18^th  Rev. Kathy Neary, PNW Small Church Specialist                       

              September 25^th Rev. Mark Randall (retired)

Thank you all for your patience and steadfastness as we move into this new realm. The Lord will provide, as He always has.

Respectfully,

Cece Kiino, Chair SPRC
