After a time of reflection and prayer, Pastor Chris French feels called to a new ministry opportunity. He has been called as head of staff at Palm Desert Community Presbyterian Church, in Palm Desert, California. This new home for the French family will also give them the opportunity to be closer to Amy's family. We are excited to see how God will bless their ministry there!
Chris' last Sunday on staff and in the pulpit will be November 3, and we hope you will plan to greet the French family at a reception in the Welcome Center, immediately following the worship service. Light refreshments will be available, and there will be no Adult Equipping Hour. Please be thinking about a favorite Bible verse and well wishes to write in a gift Bible they will take with them. There will also be a basket where you can place a note for the French family telling how God has used them to help form you as disciples or a love offering of cash or check (made out to Chris) to thank he and his family for their many years of service. We are so thankful to God for the ways He has used the French family to bless so many.
Chris shared his announcement during worship on October 13 and you may view that HERE.
