WEST TEXAS DISTRICT NEWSLETTER
May 2, 2019

Dear Pastor/Friends,
 
It was wonderful to be with you at the district assembly last month.  I want to thank  Pastor Mike Page and the entire staff at Lubbock First Church for their gracious hospitality. Particularly, I want to congratulate our ordinands, pictured here with Dr. Sunberg, from left to right (Rev. Tyler Parson, Rev. Joshua and Natasha Fredlund,  Rev. Susan and Sam
McPhearson, Rev. Lawrence and Debbie Gulley, Rev. Brian and Amanda Malloy, Rev. Sherry and Kevin Seigman).  

Congratulations, also, to those who were elected by the assembly to positions of service on committees and boards.  You will see the election results posted in an article below.
 
We are very excited about our upcoming Family Camp (June 9 - 14) with Evangelist Jeremiah Bolich and morning Bible study leader, Dr. Mark Lail.  Jeremiah will  be preaching in the evening services and Mark will be teaching each morning.  I've asked Mark to teach regarding a biblical view of money and stewardship. 

Also, we are excited about Mandy Hewitt as she organizes and  leads the  music. I am confident we are going to have a great week.   Please notice the  informational flyer  and registration link, below.

I am very excited about the progress of The Well...our health clinic connected to the Cactus Nazarene Ministry Center.  They have recently expanded their outreach to surrounding counties. There was a wonderful news segment on one of the  Amarillo TV stations this past week about The Well.  Please CLICK HERE to access the link.
Todd and Raquel Forrest

Mike and Brenda Murphy
Congratulations to Co-Pastors Todd and Raquel Forrest, of Abilene Trinity Church, who were recently elected as the new pastors of  Borger First Church. They will begin their new assignment on May 19th. Also, we congratulate Pastor Mike Murphy and his wife  Brenda, on his election as pastor of our Hamlin Church. We are excited for both of these great pastoral couples and their congregations. 

Finally, this past Sunday, Susan and I had the opportunity of worshiping together at Ft. Worth  Crossroads Tabernacle where they celebrated the 20 th anniversary of their  restart under the leadership of Pastor Corey and  Beth Ann Jones. The  congregation celebrated by showering Pastor Corey and Beth Ann with many generous expressions of love and appreciation!

 
 
For you and with you, 

Pastor David Downs
