As a congregation, we can help David get off to a strong start  by helping him acclimate and making him feel truly welcome. Here are some starters:

• Begin praying daily for the Duncan family, even as you continue to pray for the Payne family.
• Say goodbye to Pastor Darlene in a healthy way; we have an opportunity to show love, thanks, regard, and grief on Sunday, June 4th.
• Help work on the improvements to the parsonage prior to the Duncan’s arrival. Ask a trustee how you can help.
• Help clean the pastor’s office at church.
• Stock the parsonage pantry and fridge in late June. You can talk to Lee Mahn if you’d like to coordinate the effort to do this.
• Introduce yourself to the new pastor…repeatedly. You have to learn one name. He has to learn many names. You can even wear a nametag if you’d like.
• Invite the Duncan family to attend community events and meetings with you and your family.
