Associate Pastor update:

The A.P. Search Team completed their part in the process & submitted their proposal to the CFC Leadership Team to continue the discernment process.  The Leadership Team has affirmed their recommendation to consider hiring two of the candidates for a combined, full-time position. Isaiah 55:8-9 tells us that God’s thoughts are not our thoughts and that his ways are higher than ours. Because the CFC leadership and church family have been covering this in prayer, we feel confident that the Lord has led us to this point and has directed our steps along the way.

 

Eric Lytle and Chad Gouza each have unique gifts to offer that will help CFC to continue to thrive under the Lord’s leadership and direction.  We have invited Eric to join us on Sunday, September 22nd to share a message with us & then we have asked both Eric and Chad along with their spouses to return on Thursday, September 26th for a question-and-answer time beginning @ 7 pm. Then, the CFC family will have the opportunity to affirm the recommendation of the Leadership Team before a final decision is made.  If you have any questions before that time, please take the opportunity to talk with a Leadership or Search Team member and continue to help us pray this through.

You may have noticed that some of our seats on Sunday mornings are marked as “Reserved.” These are not meant to be “exclusive” but are often reserved for some of the following reasons:

     1. For large groups that we know will be coming &       request to sit together.

     2. For the hearing impaired.

     3. For the youth that have requested a special section to sit together. (Up front!)

     4. For visitors or late arrivals.

Thanks so much for your understanding and cooperation.
