Although Randy has had monthly opportunities for leading worship and preaching (and has agreed to continue during the summer), we have much work to do to prepare him for other opportunities. Thankfully, Randy will soon be completing his CPE requirements and plans to move to southeast Georgia in May. Now, he will still lead some worship services, but more of his time will be spent in other areas mentioned in the manual – including being involved with both the Brunswick and Statesboro communities. I am sharing this with you now – because I don’t think I did a good job of explaining the unique approach when we began. I am proud that we can help prepare ministers for the future. Although, we don’t have a formal practicum arrangement with Clint Tawes, I think he is also learning a great deal by sharing with our congregations and getting feedback.
If you have questions about our role as a teaching congregation, or Randy’s role as an intern, please just email me. And thank you for your amazing support.
