This last Sunday evening (November 6th) we had another business meeting to consider four constitutional changes. At the previous meeting six weeks earlier, we presented 12 changes and none of them passed. We figured that some of the members were overwhelmed. So, we presented four crucial changes and the deacons met with every member individually and thoroughly explained each one. Last Sunday when the vote was taken, all four unanimously passed. It was thrilling to see the unity in this once very fractured group of people.
Since these four changes were passed we can now go forward with the pastoral search process. The church has asked Dennis McBride to come as an official candidate. He and his wife, Lynda, will be here on the weekend of November 19th and 20th. They have been here twice before and they are very well liked. There will be a vote on the evening of the 20th to call him as their new pastor. I expect that he will be extended a call and he has already said that he could be here the first week of January. So we should be heading back to the Northwest in January. Please keep this church in prayer!
