This month while Pastor Bob is out on vacation and as we transition to our new Senior Pastor John White we will have a guest preacher, Mark Swirsky. His series for the month of July will be Building a Healthier Culture for Your Next Pastor and Your New People. His title for July 2nd is Have a Healthy Leadership Transition. The main idea of this sermon is that healthy leadership transitions require mutual respect and unified purpose.
