Staffing Changes
Lindsay is Moving!
We need to announce that our fantastic Business Manager, Lindsay Beveridge, is moving to Geneva, IL in a new home she is purchasing with her new husband, Brian, and their beautiful children, Annabelle and Lincoln. We are sad to lose her from the neighborhood and from her administrative position in the office, but we are happy for them as they celebrate a new beginning for their family. We will be saying a prayer of appreciation for her on Sunday, October 18th.
Installation of New Office Staff- Sunday, September 20th
We are thrilled to announce that our installation of our new and wonderful office staff will be installed on Sunday, September 20th at the 10:30 a.m. service. It will be great to officially welcome Communications Administrator Halley Williams and Office Administrator Kathy Danner to their positions. They already have been working here two months, and have been doing fantastic work relating to church members and school families out of the school office. Please join us that day!
