Welcome Rev. David Van Arsdale
This past week was the start of FCCW's bridge ministry with the Rev. David Van Arsdale helping us transition from Pastor Gina to a future Interim Minister.

For the months of May and June, David will be our spiritual guide. He may feel familiar because he and his wife, Ellen, have worshipped with us for the past few summers. Ellen has periodically sang with the church choir and David made many visitations to those who attend our church. We are so excited to welcome them and grateful for David's work in our church community.

David is available to pastoral care and if you would like to speak to him or you would like to pass along a concern you may do so by emailing him at david@wolfeboroucc.org or by calling him on his cell phone at 623-258-7592.
Scripture

John 15:9-17

9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. 11 I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
12 ”This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 I do not call you servants[a] any longer, because the servant[b] does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. 16 You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. 17 I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.
