District pastor Rick Shallenberger and regional pastor Randy Bloom met with part of Rick’s district in Memphis, Tennessee on November 1. It was the first time the group had met together since restructuring some of the US church districts. The four churches represented at the meeting were Memphis and Jackson Tennessee; and Batesville and Jonesboro, Arkansas. Several members of the Memphis congregation also joined the meeting.
After opening with worship and communion, each person present shared a bit about their journey with Jesus. Discussion then turned to the four congregations with each pastor sharing celebrations and challenges. Then each congregation was prayed for. Rick then updated the group about the denomination and talked about the purpose of our GCnext focus.
