Today, we bid farewell to Gavin Juneau and Sami (Tonkery) Juneau. A relatively short but very memorable time with them. Gavin and Sami have provided us with friendship, filled a need when it mattered most, and helped us grow as a church. We are grateful to Mark and Laura Tonkery for connecting us with Gavin. Gavin and Sami begin their next chapter of life as they pursue new opportunities at a larger church outside Ohio and pursue further Biblical education. We offer prayers and wish them the very best, and we thank them for their service, faith, fellowship and friendship.
Today was Jarrod Allen’s first-ever sermon. Jarrod has served the church since February, 2024 as webmaster, then since September, 2024 as technology room steward as we began video productions, and now as a substitute preacher. His sermons will be strictly occasional as he also pursues full-time responsibilities in television while continuing an existing role in radio broadcast journalism.
The elders, Jim Lanning, Tom Sheppard and Ernie Starling, with help from visiting preachers and Jarrod’s occasional sermons will carry the church forward. Our doors at 7 Smith Street are always open, and our 24-hour contact hotline is constantly monitored. (740) 343-9034
