Pastor's Notes

This past Wednesday, the membership of the Maranatha Bible Church voted to legally dissolve Maranatha and after the payment of all debts that the assets be turned over to Cornwall Baptist Church. This will now be passed on to our attorney, who will provide us with an announcement for the paper. For the next 4 weeks, we will need to announce the dissolution and ask any one who has any outstanding bills to come forward to be paid. After this is completed, the resolution will go to the state Attorney General for his approval. This will take a couple of weeks to accomplish. Once all of this is finished, we will be in the eyes of the law that we have already determined that we are in the eyes of the Lord - One church.

This is an exciting time for our ministry, and I am looking forward to God's leading in the days and weeks to come. We are beginning a new phase in our ministry, and one in which we all need to labor together. It is my prayer, that as a result of our reunification, that we will see many souls in the community saved and added to the church.

This coming week, we will be informing all of the missionaries of Maranatha and Cornwall of the decisions that have been made so that they can pray with us. None of the missionaries will be dropped in support, and we will be having them come in as they return home on furlough. Brendan and Melissa Holmquist will be with us for the week of Vacation Bible School next summer, July 19-23. Brendan will be sharing a continuous story (?) about their ministry during the week. We will also have them present their ministry to us either the Sunday prior or after VBS.
