Living Faith Church, Exeland, & Joy Fellowship Christian Church, Rice Lake, are merging as sister churches. We made the announcement to both congregations over the past two Sundays. Pastor Sue Paarni has served at Joy Fellowship Church for the past 15 years, after the death of her husband, Wally, (former pastor). Pastor Timothy Jerry will come along side as an associate pastor until Pastor Sue retires (as the Lord leads). At that time Pastor Tim will become the lead pastor of both Joy Fellowship and Living Faith Church. LFC is also moving toward bringing Pastor Tim’s son, Christopher, into an associate pastor role in the next couple years with the intent that he and his wife, Rachel, will eventually become the lead pastors at Living Faith Church. We will be posting the story next weekend. Here are a few pictures of Pastor Sue, along with our dear friends, Rev. Cynthia Pfeffer & Dennis & LeAnn Krey, as well as Pastor Tim & Ann, and our son, Christopher & his wife, Rachel.
