We look forward to welcoming Dr. Lester Ruth, Research Professor of Christian Worship at Duke Divinity School to be our preacher and leader of our theological discussion. Dr. Ruth is a historian of Christian worship and is passionate about enriching the worship life of our current congregations, regardless of style.
We will welcome two new pastors to the presbytery as Grant Wildwright will be examined for ordination and Ben Kane will be introduced as the new pastor of Second Presbyterian Church in Little Rock.
I look forward to seeing you in Little Rock in October and feel free to call me if you need assistance in making your hotel reservation. Stewart |
