HAZELWOOD TO WELCOME NEW MINISTER

Yes, this time the rumors are true; our new Senior Minister, Rev. Jason Jones, will be arriving a week earlier than originally planned! His first day in the office will be May 24. While he will be in church Sunday, May 29, he will not be leading us in worship until June 5. This will give him a chance to get better acquainted with our service without all the pressure. We all want to make Jason feel welcome in his new congregation, and we have a few suggestions on how you can do just that.

You may wish to send him a letter or card welcoming him to his new home (this new address will be effective June 3; if you wish to send something earlier, you may send it to the church office). If cards and letters just aren’t your thing, simply continue to pray; both for him and for our congregation. Lastly, and most importantly, you can show your support by showing up! Nothing says welcome more than full pews and plenty of smiling faces.

The Search Committee is partnering with Christian Life for a special welcoming on June 5. We look forward to seeing everyone starting May 24 and on into the future!
