Youth, associates and other stuff

Just a quick report. The last couple of weeks we have lost some men of profound influence who left their mark on the lives of many and who will be missed: Jack Exum, Wilard Tate, and Henry Farrar.

We posted the opening at Goodwood not long ago but they have sent us some updated info you’ll want to look at. The Goodwood Church of Christ in Baton Rouge, LA is looking for a pulpit minister. Their preacher, Doug Burleson, will be leaving in June 2010 to take a position on the Bible faculty at Freed-Hardeman University. The church has 300 members and is active in Honduras and South Louisiana mission work and Disaster Relief among other things. The Goodwood congregation is looking for a man who is married, with at least a college degree, who has experience in the pulpit. For a .pdf of the job description please go to www.goodwoodchurch.org and click on the “preacher search” tab.  For more clarification feel free to contact the church office at (225) 272-8936.
 
In the shocking scoop of the week Phil Waggoner is leaving Mt. Juliet. He has been the youth minister there for some time and will be missed. He will be leaving there in August. For more info go to www.mtjuliet.org

This one has been open for a while but I don’t think I’ve posted it. The Rogersville, Alabama church is looking for an associate who would work in youth and education. They have a new building, are growing, and lots of youth.  They run about 375-400 on Sundays.  For more info go to http://www.rogersvillecoc.org/

The Savannah church has gone back to Jim Chamblee to work with them. He leaves West Dyersburg to help with this good work.

In another shocker Brian Wakefield is leaving Dalradia on Montgomery, AL. To learn more about this exciting work go to: http://www.dalraida.org/

By the way, in none of the above goings is the situation a bad one. That is sort of rare but good news when looking into them.

The Strickland congregation just outside of Corinth, MS will begin interviewing candidates for an Associate/Youth position. They are hoping to hire someone full time. To learn more contact Brad Dillingham (the grand one) dilljbd@bellsouth.net.

That’s all I’ve got right now that isn’t already posted. Share what you know so others might benefit!
