At the annual congregational meeting, Pastor Jay talked about several things.

Pastor Jay said he has been appointed by Bishop Humphrey, Bishop of the Virginia Synod, to serve as our Interim Pastor for six months. That is to say that the Bishop has some say in Pastor Jay’s call here at Apostles. Pastor Jay said he would be working on (1) looking at what happened last year and the conflict we went through, (2) helping us to work on normalizing things and getting back on our feet again and (3) helping us take a look at our ministry here and identify who we are and what we want to do and be.

Pastor Jay hopes to have a Congregational Council retreat in the near future. Pastor Jay said that his call as our interim pastor could be extended after the six months or if the Spirit directs us, we could work on calling Pastor Jay to be our permanent pastor.

Pastor Jay asked for our help by wearing our nametags and also because he is not familiar with the area, to let him know where you live by giving him directions like north or west, etc. Pastor Jay is part time, and his office hours will normally be Monday and Wednesday from 10:00 AM—1:00 PM.
