As I talk to other district superintendents across the US I am reminded how blessed Becky and I are to serve in Illinois. You are an incredible group of congregations who love Jesus, love one another and love on us. Thank you for the privilege of serving alongside you.
We are about to complete 6 years of service. There are many good things to report. Among those are 48 pastoral changes during that time. We still have 8 that we are working on. I would covet your prayers for these church boards and myself as we search for God’s will to find the right fit for these churches. We want to welcome Pastors Jay and Hope Wilson to the Illinois District. Their first Sunday at Sherman is June 15.
Pray for Assembly and Conventions. I believe Illinois Nazarenes love to come together to celebrate all that God has been doing and to renew our friendships across the district.
District Assembly officially begins Friday night, July 11 with our Celebration of Ministry Service. We are planning to celebrate 5 ordinations, 7 retirements and 3 first time District licenses. Join us at Decatur First at 6:45 pm.
