The Pulpit Committee has been selected

In a few months a Pulpit committee has been formed. This
committee will work to create a synopsis of what the church
is. They will be asking members on the congregation for
input on this and will be taking an introspective look on
who we are and what we do. This information will become
useful when searching for the next settled Pastor.

The Pulpit Committee will then work to identify and
interview potential Pastors.

This entire process will take 18 months or more. It is a
process that will be done diligently but must allow time for
concepts and ideas to grow.

The Pulpit Committee consists of
Cynthia Strouse - chair person
Oliver Bray
Curt Brockway
Mark Kane
Amanda Duntz
Nancy Allen
Lindsey Mariano

Please pray for this congregation, the interim Pastor
and his leadership, and the leadership of the Pulpit
committee in the search for a new settled Pastor.
Pastor Bill Heugel,
is the new Interim
Pastor!

After over 25 years of faithful
service Pastor Cal Lord
followed the Lords calling as he
moved on to another church
family. In his absence First
Baptist Church of Norwich will
be in the search for another
settled pastor.

While the search goes on Pastor
Bill Heugel, has answered the
call to be the Interim Pastor of
First Baptist. He will help to
lead the congregation in this
time of transition.
The Interim Process

The interim process is a long
process that helps the church
transition from one Pastor to
another settled Pastor.

There is a period of grieving
that will go on. Many
members in the congregation
may feel sarrow, or anger.
Some may be happy for the
new opportunities to come. The
Pastor and the rest of the
congregation will help others
through this process.
