TRANSCRIPT
Dear Paw Creek Presbyterian Church,
I would like to give you another update on things that are happening in the church.
First, congratulations to the newly elected Elders of Paw Creek Presbyterian Church for the class of
2019. Please extend your words of affirmation to Jon Kenley, Victoria Krebs, Amy McGee, Melissa
Mullis, David Padgett, Joy Tyler, and Barbara Ullem. We will begin our twelve hours of training
beginning in October and finishing in November. After a written examination at the end of the
training, the newly elected officers will be ordained (if not previously ordained) and installed to of-
fice. The newly elected officers will be ready to hit the ground running in January.
Please remember to thank the Nominating Committee (Eddie McArver, Donna Hall, Peggy Harring-
ton, Grady Cathey, Ken Scott- Chair, and Robin Wodarski for all of their hard work in getting this
important work done. But they are not quite done yet.
Second, the Nominating Committee is still hard at work for you Paw Creek. They are beginning the
second charge of their work in getting a slate of names together of individuals to sit on the Pastor
Nominating Committee. During the month of September, they have been receiving names from the
congregation of those individuals who would like to sit on the Pastor Nominating Committee. The
Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) will need to consist of a cross section of the congregation as
to be representative of the congregation. There will be a committee of five. The same process will
be followed as it was for the class of Elder. The committee will confirm with individuals their desire
to serve on the PNC, perform interviews with each agreed participant, develop a slate of names and
will present the congregation with that slate of names on which to vote.
We have sent letters out to all members who have not been active here in the last year to confirm
their membership as to meet that requirement from Presbytery. This information needs to be as
accurate as possible as this will go on the Mission Information Form (MIF) that the PNC will fill out
about the church.
You will hear more in the coming future as we move further in this process. You may be called up-
on to help out with the mission study that needs to be completed; I hope you will consider volun-
teering to do this work. Some has already been done.
We are moving ever forward in finding the next man or woman of God to lead this congregation.
Stay in prayer through this process. We are getting there.
In the name of Jesus Christ,
Veronica Cannon
From the Pastor...

An Evening Presentation by Brian McLaren
“The Great Spiritual Migration”
Join us for a reading and presentation from Brian McLaren on The Great Spiritual Migration. Brian will be available to sign copies of his book, which you can purchase at the event.
The Christian story, from Genesis until now, is fundamentally about people on the move—outgrowing old, broken religious systems and embracing new, more redemptive ways of life. It’s time to move again. In his new book, The Great Spiritual Migration: How the World's Largest Religion is Seeking a Better Way to be Christian, Brian McLaren invites you to seize the moment and set out on the most significant spiritual pilgrimage of our time: to help Christianity become more Christian.
We have reserved 20 tickets (first come, first serve). If interested in going, please contact Karen Cathey at [email protected], or 704-650-2929.
Paw Creek Presbyterian Church invites you to attend this Community Event
Advance Care Planning & 5 Wishes
October 11, 2016 5:45 - 7:00pm
Dinner will be served
Advance Care Planning is a gift you give yourself and your loved ones by planning now for your health care future. Through conversations and by putting your wishes in writing, you will guide decision makers
on how they can best help you, should you be unable to speak for yourself.
Together we will go through the 5 Wishes document, answer
questions and consider what is most important to you. There will be a follow-up session on Tuesday, November 15 at 5:45pm to finalize
your documents with a notary and to answer any additional questions.
Speaker is Carol Anne Lawler, Faith Community Educator with
Hospice & Palliative Care. To register, contact the church office at 704-392-0329 or Amy McGee:
