PRAYER CONCERNS
From the diaconate and Pastor Tom Kinder
The interim period can be one of the most dynamic, exciting times in a
congregations life. It is an opportunity to remember and learn from the
past, to redefine the congregations sense of purpose and direction and to
set out on a new stage of its journey.
An Interim Minister needs to get to know a congregation as uickly as
possible in order to help it focus on what is most important for its future.
