Pastor’s Column Sept. 18, 2011

We continue to wait on presbytery to call together the committee that will determine an Assimilation Plan whereby FPC Festus is assimilated by Grace. But as we wait, we have decided on the following:

Saturday, Oct. 1. FPC has been invited to join with us in the Fall Festival.
Sunday, Oct. 2. FPC will join us at Grace to celebrate World Communion
Sunday.

Sunday, Oct. 23. Rev. Bill Charlton of FPC will fill in for me inasmuch as I’ll be
giving a presentation, “The Imagination of Fred Harvey” at the University of
NM Continuing Ed. and to the Friends of the Roswell Library.

Thursday, Nov. 24. Volunteers from Grace will join with FPC in cooking and
serving a Thanksgiving dinner to those in need - this at FPC.

FPC’s last Sunday of worship. Grace will not have worship here that day. We will go to FPC and celebrate with them 130 years of service. At this point, we have no idea when this will be.

I urge everyone to be most welcoming of all from FPC, remembering that this is a sad time for them, and that they have much yet to offer in Christ’s service.
