No - I didn't misspell thorn - and really it is 2 Thornes, not 1 - and they are really not in our side but ON our side. Crazy couple # 3 has made public their plans to move to Macon in the very near future to join NCCd in seeing Gospel transformation.JD and Corrie Thorne will be coming from Dothan Alabama where JD currently serves as a youth pastor and Corrie currently teaches school. JD finishes his Masters work at New Orleans Baptist Theological in December and will also finish out his position as youth pastor in December. JD has been through Acts 29 Bootcamp and assessment and will be a great addition to New City. Pray for Corrie as she searches for a teaching job and is actually visiting Tuesday to talk with a school. Pray for JD as he will seek to raise some outside support in order to dedicate as much time as possible to New City. Pray for me and JD as I have a meeting Monday with a group of city leaders to discuss downtown security issues - our involvement may help JD and Corrie with a place to live - We'll See!
SO - Here's where we stand with incoming, providentially provided leadership at NCCd:
Today Tyler and Sarah (and baby V) joined us for their official 1st Sunday. Tyler will oversee bands and worship.
Coming in January - Patrick, Jennifer and Family McConnell. Patric is a GREAT generalist who has experience in most every area of the church. He will likely oversee our MCs and be our 'How' pastor - you know, How do we do this, and how do we do that!
Also coming as early as January - JD and Corrie Thorne. JD will likely head up the 567 and much of our Community Relations.
I'm taking a few days off!
