New Pastor Candidate
Pastor Nat Erickson and his family will come for a Candidating weekend December 11-12. They come from Houghton. Nat and his wife Maija have three young children. We are so excited to have them come and meet the FBC family.
There will be a potluck after Pastor Nat preaches on Sunday, December 12 for the congregation to visit with the family.
We will have a Special Business Meeting right after church on Sunday, December 19 when we will vote to accept the compensation agreement for and to call Nat Erickson as our full-time pastor. Any questions or comments, please reach out to the Pastoral Search Committee.
