On Sunday, November 19th, 2023, Deacon Jeff Blank presented a package to the congregation that would appoint Pastor Bruce McBride and Pastor David Sandvick to share the Pastoral duties through April 2024. The congregation passed the motion. Pastor Bruce will be serving with his wife Judy and preaching three Sunday’s a month. Pastor David will preach one Sunday a month and continue leading the Wednesday morning Bible Study. In the event there is a fifth Sunday or either are not able to preach, the pastoral team will arrange for a guest speaker.
This arrangement is on an interim basis through April 2024. It will be continually accessed by the Pastor’s and Deacon’s and adjusted as required.
Pastor Bruce will continue his role of Directory of Pastoral Services at UPMC Western Maryland.
