JUNE 2019

We are a family of faith, sharing God’s love in a spirit of hope. June 2—Becky Collins, Ben Sargent, Pam Sargent, Mary Hutton

Meet Our New Pastor, William Reilly At a special called business meeting on Sunday, June 2, we voted to call William Reilly as our new pastor. The meeting followed a full weekend of events for church members to meet William and his wife Cecelia, culminating in William's trial sermon during worship. All of the events were arranged by our pastor search committee, who has worked diligently since their formation last summer to bring us to this point. William's first Sunday with us will be July 7. In the meantime, you can reach William by email at wreilly90@gmail.com. Please continue to pray for our church, and for William and Cecelia, as we prepare for this new phase of ministry at Faith. William is from Big Spring, Texas, and holds a BA in Religion and Political Science from McMurray University in Abilene, Texas. He recently graduated from Emory University’s Candler School of Theology in Atlanta, Georgia, with a Master of Divinity and a certificate in Baptist Studies. He has served as a minister to students at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Texas, chaplain intern at a retirement home, and pastoral resident at Edgewood Church in Atlanta. William is married to Cecelia and they have two dogs. You can learn more about William and Cecelia by visiting his website, wmreilly.com. We are excited to welcome William and Cecelia to our family of Faith!

All children ages 3 years old to completed 5th grade are invited to join us for the mane event!

This month we will focus on welcoming the Spirit into our worship and our hearts. A particularly important day this month is Pentecost, the seventh Sunday after Easter, when we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciples after Jesus ascended to heaven. Come, Holy Spirit, come!
