On June 8th, 2005 our pastor was ordained an Elder in Full Connection by our currently seated Bishop, Rev. Alfred Wesley Guinn, Jr.
As has long been a tradition within our Conference, Bishop Guinn asked all of his ordinands, including Pastor Jenness, to accompany him on an educational trip and spiritual retreat to Israel in January of next year. Participants depart on January 27th, and will be gone for 10 days, touring all the major sites of the Holy Land. This opportunity is not restricted to clergy, and interested laity are encouraged to inquire about going, if they're are interested. One of our newest members, Tim Lancaster, has already registered for the trip, and plans to accompany our pastor, the Bishop, and the other representatives from the Eastern District of the North Carolina Conference.

The trip for the pastor, while at a reduced cost, is not free, and there will be a few fund-raisers for Pastor Jenness and Mr. Lancaster in the weeks ahead - we hope you will prayerfully consider contributing, as it is our hope that this trip will be a life-changing and spiritually-impacting experience for all who are able to go and see the lands and places described in our Holy Scriptures first-hand, and walk on the very ground upon which our Lord and Savior trod...
