On this, “Bring a Friend to Church, Blessing of the Backpacks, Sunday School Kick-off, Third Grade Bibles, All Church Picnic,” Sunday, I thought it would be good to re-introduce you to our Centenary Staff.
Cindy and I are Co-Pastors. We’re starting our fifth year here in Beatrice. We are entering our 22nd year of full time ministry at Elders in the Nebraska Conference. We both received our Master of Divinity degrees at the Divinity School at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Cindy received her bachelor’s degree from Wofford College in Spartenburg, South Carolina. I received my degree from Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln.
Today we consecrate two new members of our staff: Mrs. Janine Harvey, Youth Director/Kids Kamp Coordinator, and, Mrs. Cindy Waltke, Treasurer/Secretary. Cindy has been holding down the duties of church secretary most of the summer. We have now hired her as one-quarter church treasurer, three-quarters church secretary. Come take a look at the newly re-arranged office! Cindy has been with us 5-1/3 years.
