Time to get the word out!

The WCPC PNC is now prepared and excited to begin receiving Pastor Information Forms from candidates for the position of Teaching Elder/Head of Staff, which may happen as early as next week once the PCUSA office in Louisville posts the position.

On the right hand side of this screen, you will find a list of pages. The last one, added just now, is the Church Information Form we have been working on for the past several months. We encourage you to read it, pray about it, and consider ordained pastors you might know who posseses the experience, skills and spiritual gifts we are looking for in our next head of staff.

You are certainly encouraged to share this CIF with any who might be interested, or if there is someone you think should receive a personal contact from a member of the PNC, please let one of us know or email us at whitprespnc12@googlegroups.com.

Over the next several weeks we will continue refining the process through which we will consider every applicant, as we work toward discerning the individual who will next serve our congregation as WCPC's Head of staff.

"I AM"

PNC member Bill Yakely shared a helpful word with us at tonight's meeting. It is a wonderful encouragement to live in the moment. As the PNC continues to make progress at a deliberate, but perhaps not blistering pace, it is easy to think that nothing is happening, and we begin fretting about the future over which we hold no control. Rest assured, "I AM" is in charge of this process, and we are regularly seeking his presence, moment by moment. Perhaps you will find this piece by Helen Malicoat helpful as well.

I was regretting the past
and fearing the future.
Suddenly, my Lord was speaking.
"My name is I Am."

He paused. I waited. He continued.

"When you live in the past,
with its mistakes and regrets,
it is hard. I am not there.
My name is not "I was."

When you live in the future,
with its problems and fears,
it is hard. I am not there.
My name is not "I will be."

When you live in this moment
it is not hard. I am here.
My name is "I AM."
