Church-wide WMU Recognition Service

INTRODUCTION OF PROSPECTIVE STUDENT MINISTER!

Although Michael Coleman has just concluded his tenure with us

as Minister to Students, the Search Committee has been working diligently

on his replacement. At this point in time they are ready to present a

candidate to serve as the new Minister to Students, Tommy Moore.

On Wednesday evening, May 25, at 6:00 p.m., the Search Commit-

tee will share information about Tommy and will answer any questions

you may have about him. This is an information session only and there

will be no vote to call Tommy at this time. This will conclude by 6:30 p.m.

for the RA/GA Recognition Service in the sanctuary.

The congregation will have a chance to meet Tommy, his wife,

Hannah, and their son, Benjamin (a little less than a year old), on Sunday

morning, June 5, in the fellowship hall at the beginning of the Sunday

School hour. Tommy will spend some time with the youth during the latter

half of that hour, and will be introduced in each of the worship services

that morning as well. This is an introduction time only and there will be

no vote to call Tommy on this day.

A vote to call Tommy Moore as our Minister to Students will take

place at the end of each of the morning services on Sunday, June 12. This

will be a ballot vote and the results will be posted on our web site the next

day, announced at the next services, as well as published in the following

issue of the Tidings.

I want to say a special thanks to the members of the Search

Committee: Lawrence Langdale, Chair, Leah Horstemeyer, student

representative, Richard Berry, Shane Lundy, Gigi Baxley, Ginger Meeks,

Charles D’Errico, and Celeste Jackson. They have met often and have done

an outstanding job.
