THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
All of life becomes a journey, as we grow in faith and years.
-Michael Morgan
OUR NEW INTERIM
Our IPNC has announced that Rev. Leigh Campbell-Taylor has been chosen to be MPC’s interim beginning on November 1. Leigh comes to us from her most recent interim work with Oakhurst Presbyterian church and prior to that Newnan Presbyterian, both congregations that were transitioning from pastors with over 30 years in the pulpit. Leigh has served in a variety of ministries with diverse congregations, and we absolutely believe that her gifts and her passion for leading transitional congregations will help shepherd MPC into it’s bright future! Please join us in welcoming Leigh in worship on Sunday, November 4.
