WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIVE - FEBRUARY 12TH
On Wednesday night Feb 12 , it will be my pleasure to share informationth
concerning our neighbors of The Presbyterian Denomination. Perhaps youalready have some of this information and can share your knowledge with all ofus. We will explore the beginnings of this denomination and see how it spreadto the shores of America.
We invite you to come and share fellowship with one another as we examine thissister denomination.

CURRENT EVENTS
The clergy consultation process leading to the 2014 appointments has begun. Our system requires that the church,
through the SPRC, inform the Bishop and Cabinet regarding their desire for clergy leadership in the coming year. In order
for a pastoral appointment to be made, three components are involved: 1) The intention or desire of the pastor, 2) The will
or desire of the congregation, and 3) The need of the Annual Conference.
You are encouraged to contact any SPRC member in order to provide your words of encouragement, support, or concerns
regarding your wishes in the clergy appointment process. [Our clergy include John Branning, Dennis Gossett, Tommy
Gilbert (retired), and Bob Peden.] If you have a compliment or a complaint, please share it confidentially with one of the
SPRC members listed below. [It is not necessary to speak to every member of the SPRC, only one.]
