Many churches across the globe have closed.
All churches are dealing with “changing of the guards” and shifting as people shift from one church to the next or as many have chosen to just back off in their involvement with organized church.
According to a recent BARNA RESEARCH SURVEY: When Barna analysts grouped responses into categories of social and non-social aspects that were missed, the data highlighted that nearly all respondents (90%) missed church for non-social reasons, which includes listening to a live sermon, reading and liturgies and taking communion / Eucharist. Still, a large portion (85%) also admits to missing the social aspects of gathering, including greeting others or passing
the peace during service, corporate prayer and connecting with church leaders in person.
As we continue navigating through this pandemic season, I am happy to announce Pastor Katabia Henry has accepted the role of INTERIM PASTOR for GPLJAX as we move forward to our relaunch in September!
In this role she will help carry some of the balls and bear some of the weight that comes with leading a church during these times.
Here’s the definition of what an INTERIM PASTOR does:
“An interim pastor also focuses on spiritually leading the church, but his focus is more on part-time transitional ministry, knowing his position is only temporary -- usually only 12 to 18 months -- until a full-time pastor can take over.”
For covenant partners, this means you can book times of Pastoral Counseling with her via INeedPrayerNow.com
For leaders and volunteers on our relaunch DREAM TEAM this means she will be intricately involved in helping us stay focused and organized as we meet weekly to stay on track for our relaunch.
This also means you can join her LIVE via FB every Tuesday for discipleship training in connection with the TEACHING SERIES of the month.
Plus, you will see her a bit more often here in Jacksonville, preaching and releasing the word.
Chat with you later,
Apostle Dwann
