Dear Forest Grove Community Church,
Yesterday we voted to extend the position of Pastor of Worship and Community to Matthew Blackaby. Thank you for all who voted at our meeting following the service. There were 175 votes cast – 171 – yes; 2 – no; 2 – abstain. This was 98.8% approval. The required 75% yes was met. Matthew and Ellie are discerning and praying about our offer and we will let you know their response in our Thursday email. Please continue to pray for them through this time of discernment.
Together working to fulfill God's commission,
FGCC Council
Erica Fraser, Ken Willms, Anna Robinson, Janice Block, Joel Dyck, Gil Klassen, and Galen Heinrichs.
