“scoopalicious”

First things first. Your friend and mine, the one and only Ralph Gilmore, has some openings in his schedule. He and Joyce have backed off doing local work in a weekly commitment which allows him to have more Sunday’s available. First come, first serve, I’m sure. Contact rgilmore@fhu.edu or 800 FHU-FHU1. OK, get ready Brother Ralph!

Let’s stay with FHU sort of news. Sunday it was announced that David Lipe will be the new preacher at Sycamore in Cookeville. As I understand it he will continue to teach for sometime at FHU but he will begin his Sunday to Sunday preaching in January.

David Shannon indirectly gets the scoop for Morristown’s pulpit position opening. David, mentioned “the scoop blog” to one of the elders, Jim Dempster who contacted us. Their preacher, Josh Allen, is going to work with the church in Pikeville, KY in August. He was loved there and is leaving under the best of circumstances. The Morristown congregation has a Sunday morning attendance of  130. They have 4 elders and 6 deacons and hire a summer youth minister each year. They are in Hamblen county in East Tennessee. Send info to: Jim Dempster dempstjw@charter.net.

Here’s another scoop that might interest you: The church in DeQueen, Arkansas is looking.  They have approximately 225 members and four elders.  For more info contact Greg Revels at 870 642-5900. 

The Westside Church in Elkton, KY is looking for a good full time minister and family. Their website is www.wscofc.org or call 270-265-5217 and leave a message. The word to me was to send them “great candidates: - so if you think you’re great - get to it! :)

The Church in Flatwoods KY is going to be looking for a pulpit guy.  This is a congregation of around 200 members.  Word on the street is that they have strong leadership! The last preacher, John Brown, was there almost 20 years. And the scoop goes to Westley Hazel. They’ve also got a neat website: http://www.flatwoodschurchofchrist.org/
