Sunday, David Stofel and the elders at Ethridge announced that he will be leaving the work there after several years. It is a good transition and David is leaving on good terms. It will probably be in the fall before this will happen.  They are forming a search committee. When we know more we will share it.

We've got a little more info on the Bellevue Involvement role at Bellevue in Nashville:  George McKinzie is a member of the search committee and can be reached at gjmckinzie@comcast.net.

The College Avenue congregation in Eldorado, Arkansas is looking for a "Recovery Minister." From what I can tell this will be a role that will be very evangelistic and focus primarily on reaching out to those who have had addictions and are recovering.  The description was quiet long so we posted it here.

As always, we are not the news, we just report! You need to check out any of these on your own.  And let us know of anything we've missed.
