Chaplain Messner

Yesterday, Aaron Messner announced to the congreation that he is accepting a call to Covenant College in Chattanooga, TN to serve as College Chaplain. This move will take place in mid-June.
Aaron and Nancy are in Chattanooga this week. When they return, Aaron will write up a report to place in the bulletin and website.

We will be planning events and other means for you to express your appreciation and good wishes to the Messners. I will start by posting an announcement on the DMC Forum blog for you to send in comments. I recommend posting your comments on that blog, as the posting will remain on the same page through June.

If you are not familiar with Covenant College, our only denomination's college, check out their website here. You will see that they have just posted an annoucement of Aaron's appointment.

However much we may sense our loss, Covenant College clearly will reap much benefit from Aaron's service. It is easy to anticipate the influence that he will have on the next generation of college students. They will be exposed to his weekly expository preaching, his passion for urban renewal, and his conviction that every Christian is to give him/herself fully to Christ's service. Little do those students know what is about to hit them when the school term begins next year!
