Sunday, September 16 was a day of great celebration as Linda Rex was commissioned as the new senior pastor serving Good News Fellowship, the GCI church in Nashville, Tennessee; and New Hope Fellowship, the GCI church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
District pastor Rick Shallenberger led the commissioning service. First he gave a sermon that included instruction to both Linda and the congregations. Then he, along with the leadership teams from both congregations, laid hands on Linda, commissioning her as the new senior pastor. The service was followed by communion and a meal with a celebration cake as the two congregations welcomed their new pastor Linda and her daughter Eva.
We love you Linda! May our Lord richly bless your ministry and our brothers and sisters in Nashville and Murfreesboro. Congrats!
Congratulations Linda! I’m thrilled for you and for your two congregations. I see here a match made in heaven. You all are in my prayers and I look forward to times together in the future.
Contratulations, Linda! I’m sure it is encouraging for you and the two congregations to experience the joy of this landmark occasion in your unified journeys with Jesus. May you all experience great joy as you move forward in Him. You are all in my prayers.
Wow–you really learned things in Church History I can tell (smile). I hope somewhere your father is smiling at all this–not just one church but two! You must have absorbed a lot sitting waiting for him dub tapes him in the old Library building. Best of British luck,
