If
you have been unable to be with us the past few weeks, I wanted to bring you up
to speed on our search for a new modern worship pastor. Jackson Barton had his
last Sunday with us on April 2. We are thankful for his service as he was
instrumental in helping us launch our modern worship service. In our search to
find someone to fill this position, we were pointed to Jonah Bynum. He is
currently a student at UCA, and he leads worship for the BCM. After several
conversations with him and listening to him lead worship, we are convinced God
is leading us to call Jonah as our next modern worship pastor.
Jonah
will come in view of a call on April 23. We want to give those who attend the
first service an opportunity to listen to him, so he will sing the special
music during the first service. He will then lead worship for the modern
worship service. At noon, we will have a luncheon in fellowship hall to give
our members the chance to ask Jonah questions. He will share his testimony and
call to ministry as part of the meeting. We will then transition into a
business meeting and vote by secret ballot. I hope you will be here to help us
be a part of this process.
Mark Smith, Pastor of FBC Jacksonville, AR
