REFLECTIONS: In the
last few weeks Pastor Charlie Stoumbaugh’s wife, Miranda and Pastor Terry
Broadwater unexpectedly lost their lives.
We grieve with the families and at the same time give thanks to God for
their faith in Jesus Christ and consequent entrance into the presence of God. Also, on Wednesday, June 25th
Loretta’s mother, Arwana, passed away after a long period of physical
decline. She left this life with the
assurance of her salvation and great anticipation of entering the Lord’s
presence. In these significant life
moments the work of Christ on our behalf becomes even more meaningful and the
need to keep spreading the gospel even more urgent. Your work to fulfill our Lord’s great
commission is so important and deeply appreciated. I pray the Lord of the harvest sends more
laborers into the harvest fields of Colorado and Utah so more souls can hear
the good news of God’s love and provision of salvation.
TRANSITION: At
District Council we announced Peggy Vawter’s plan to retire as our District
Women’s Ministries Director effective December 31, 2014. Peggy has done a wonderful job as our WM
Director and we appreciate her faithful and effective 22 years of service. The Presbytery subsequently appointed Linda
Bottoms to serve as our District WM Director effective January 1, 2015. Linda accepted the appointment and will
continue as our District Girl’s Ministry Director through the end of December. We are currently working on the selection of
a new Girl’s Ministry Director to start January 1, 2015.
