Carol Smith, Blacknall’s Financial Administrator, is retiring at the end of this month. Carol has served at Blacknall for more than seven years and will be missed.

Please look out for communication from a Blacknall elder who is your Elder in Prayer. The Session annually assigns each active member or regular attender an Elder in Prayer. These elders pray for you regularly and want to get to know you.

Please welcome Julie Leyva to her new role as Blacknall's part-time Middle School Coordinator! We're so grateful for Julie's willingness to help fill a staffing gap before we hire a permanent Director of Middle School Ministry.
