On Sunday, June 23, our congregation voted to call Julie Long as our next pastor, beginning August 1, 2024. Julie will conclude her tenure as our Interim Director of Staff and Congregational Life on June 30 and will take the month of July away before beginning as Pastor in August.
During the month of July, several of our church members will help cover pastoral and administrative responsibilities:
Jackie Riley will serve as interim office manager, overseeing day-to-day office operations and communications. As chair of the Food Services Committee, Jackie is also the point-person for all needs related to the kitchen. Jackie can be contacted through office@fbcxmacon.org.
Joe Johnson will serve as interim facilities manager, coordinating access to the church building for events and as point-person for all building needs. Joe can be contacted at joe@fbcxmacon.org.
Ruth DuCharme will serve as interim minister-on-call, working with the deacons to offer pastoral care and visitation as needed. Ruth can be contacted at 478-737-7667. LeAnn Johns will serve as interim minister-on-call during the week of July 6-13 in Ruth’s absence can be contacted at 678-457-6126.
We will welcome several guest preachers throughout the month that will assist in planning and leading in worship:
July 7 – Kathy Manis Findley
July 14 – Hunter Godsey
July 21 – Dee Bratcher
July 28 – Jay Kieve of CBF Global
Of course, members can contact the church office for any needs or to be directed to the right person.
We are deeply grateful for these servant leaders in our midst and their willingness to step in to help during this month of transition.
