Message from the Board of Directors
Church,
We wanted to take a moment to update you on the transition of The Charlotte Church Board. The transition process continues to move forward, and we are grateful for your prayers and support during this important season.
To ensure we were thorough and prayerful in our evaluation, the application review process took a little longer than originally anticipated. We have now completed our review of all applications and will begin contacting applicants over the coming week.
As a result, we have adjusted the date for formally seating the new Board to January 1, 2027.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued prayers as we move through this exciting time in the life of our congregation.
Prayer & Praise
Please keep our church family in prayer.
Prayer & Praise Update: Mama Joyce and Michelle Jones
Michelle Jones thanks everyone for the continuing prayers, care, hugs, and love shown to her and Mama Joyce. They are grateful to be back worshiping with their church family. Mama Joyce is healing, her wound has closed, and she has a prosthetic fitting coming up. Praise God for this progress!
Michelle also asks for prayer for her own health. She experienced two unexpected seizures in October. Her EEG was scheduled for November 13, and her MRI is scheduled for February; she is hoping for an earlier appointment to help determine what caused the seizures. She is unable to drive at this time.
Please keep both Michelle and Mama Joyce in prayer for continued healing, answers, encouragement, and trust in God's plan.
