Are We Scooping now or What?

As always send corrections, updates, etc to TJI@TheJenkinsInstitute.com.  We try to get it right but make mistakes. Remember "we're just the yellow pages." It's your job to kick the wheels. 

AL: Jackson Heights update: The elders at Jackson Heights wanted to let you know they do not have a vacancy to fill at this time. Barry explained it a little more. He has resigned from full-time work at JHCC, but the elders are not planning to hire a full-time pulpit minister. They are actually planning to use a rotation of qualified men within the church to preach. Barry has started a new senior care services company in the Shoals and will be considering part-time preaching in the general area. 

OK: Wayne Roberts scoops himself. He has left his position as the outreach and involvement minister for the Southwest Church of Christ in Oklahoma City.
