We are excited to announce that our new Financial Secretary has started working with Lori this week.  Her name is Jeannie Farmer and she prefers to simply be called "J." Lori will be training her and working fewer and fewer hours until the end of the month.  J has ten years experience working in a Presbyterian church in the same role. We are excited to have her come on board.  If you are at the church office, please stop by and welcome her.

You may have also noticed that we are hiring an accompanist for the choir and an assistant for Kid’s ministry. Both of these positions are very part time. If you know someone who might be good for one of these roles, please let a staff member know or send them to the Jobs section of our website.

We are continuing our conversation in worship around telling our stories in the eleven o’clock service where I will be preaching. We will also be celebrating the baptism of Pastor Seungrok and Tae Soon’s new baby Elaina. At our 9 am service, our seminary student, Stacy Reaves will be leading the service. It is part of her requirements for the Board of Ordained Ministry. She has designed the service and chosen each element. She will also be writing a paper about her decisions. Her scripture, assigned by the BOM, is in the Garden of Eden. I will be assisting Stacy as her liturgist and leading communion for you.

I hope that you have been thinking about the stories that you have to tell about the way God has worked in your life. Remember, your story should be short, current and genuine. It always amazes me when I hear people’s stories and that is why we want to share them with each other. In worship we shall be exploring the text from Philip and the Eunuch in Acts 8. I hope that you will join us.
