Good But Not Perfect

We have a great staff at Bacon Heights who diligently work to get things right. However, we are human, and as such, imperfect. Such is the case with the nominating ballot for the Pastor Search Committee.

It was decided by the elected leadership to follow the precedent of disallowing anyone who receives a pay check from Bacon Heights, or their spouse, from serving on this committee. To assist you we provided a list of ineligible folks on the back of the nominating ballot. Unfortunately, we failed to include the names of two valuable members of our church staff.  Tami Hines, Administrative Assistant to Nick, and Sherril Henson, Children’s Music Intern, were not listed.  Consequently, Andy and Tami Hines as well as Matt and Sherril Henson are not candidates to serve on the Pastor Search Committee. We’re not quite sure how this happened and are sorry for this oversight.

Because you are required to sign your nominating ballots, we can know who might have nominated any one of these four and will give you an opportunity to change your ballot and replace that now-empty-slot with an eligible nominee. Again, we apologize for this error.

STAFF ANNIVERSARIES: This month we celebrate the anniversaries of three of our Administrative Assistants. Gail White has completed 19 years, Tami Hines has 16 years and Tina Findley has achieved 8 years of faithful service. These ladies work tirelessly to advance the Kingdom of God through the ministries of Bacon Heights Baptist Church. I greatly appreciate each of them and invite you to join me in congratulating them on their years of outstanding work.

Our Youth Praise Team did an outstanding job in leading us in worship Sunday during the late service. These students practiced long and hard to prepare for this assignment, and their hard work showed. “Thank you, students, for a job well done.”

This coming Sunday we will recognize our teachers and consider the role the public schools and churches play in educating our children.  If you know a teacher, invite him/her to join you.

Please pray daily for the Lord to lead in the selection of our Pastor Search Committee. Pray for the man God has already chosen to lead our church. Pray for the Lord to lead us together in His time and that together we will work to ensure that our best days are still ahead of us.
