First EFC Transition: Passing the Baton (1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9)

Paul Schliep, January 31, 2016
Series: First EFC Transition / 2016; Preached at a First EFC Las Cruces Sunday Morning service

Sunday, January 31st marked the end of one era, and the beginning of another. Pastor John Powell retired and handed over the flock he has shepherded for 36 years to my pastoral oversight. This was a wonderful day, and an emotional day. Paul Schliep, Director of Pastoral Care for the EFCA West, came to share a brief message for the occasion. He did an outstanding job addressing me, Pastor John, and the congregation in some encouraging and challenging words regarding this transition.
