Randy’s Last Sunday
Today was our pastor’s last Sunday leading our church. Randy Wellford has been our pastor for the last 10 years and resigned to take a position with the Servant Center, a non-profit service organization which is located next door to Glenwood Presbyterian. There were a lot of visitors there this morning, and we had a covered-dish luncheon in Randy’s honor where several people stood up and thanked Randy for his time with us and talked about what his ministry had meant to them. He meant a lot to so many people as he sat with them during surgeries or comforted them through grief and tough times. Randy has a tremendous heart for serving the less fortunate in our community and world, and that will no doubt serve him well in his new position. Our church was able to reach and help many people over the last ten years due to Randy. We wish him all the best, and know that his presence will continue to be a shining light in the Glenwood community.
We have a Session meeting tonight to start the process of finding a new preacher. I pray and ask for your prayers that we can find the person that God has prepared and is calling to lead our church in the future. I also pray that we do not fall into a “waiting” mode during this transition time, but instead continue to serve the community and reach people for Christ.
