Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,

Grace and peace to you from God, our Creator, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
 
I have been working very closely with the Conference Council on Finance and Administration to put in place a plan to replace our conference treasurer, Rev. Stan Sutton, upon his retirement this coming June.  
 
This is a very important position within the conference and who we select is, likewise, of great significance.  Please pray for those involved in the process that they may have the wisdom and discernment to identify the best candidate.  Please pray that God's call to the willing and able is heard and that those who hear the call respond. Finally, please pray for the conference, whose administrative leadership impacts so many facets of the work of the church in making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. 
 
For more information about the position, read our news article CFO/Director of Administration Position Announced.
 
In Christ, 
 
Bishop Bruce R. Ough
