PNC Update (11.8.2023)

A few Sundays ago, PNC co-chair Michael Whisenhunt presented an update on our work. He shared that we expect our search to continue well into next year. We know that while many of you are eagerly awaiting the announcement and arrival of our next Senior Pastor, others among us feel encouraged that our church is thriving and are content to wait. While we all wait with varying emotions and expectations, please know that our goal remains to walk in step with God’s Spirit through this process.

Thank you, Carol Smith!

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.
