Dear Friends in Christ,
Greetings from the Session at Etowah Presbyterian Church. We hope you are doing well!
Ike Kennerly Completes interim Pastorate
Although it’s been some months ago (April) we need to belatedly express our profound gratitude for Ike, once again, coming to our rescue and leading us the first third of this year after the retirement of Becky Stanley. Ike’s long and close relationship to this church provides him with a special perspective of our church’s situation, and his professionalism and vision was a real shot in the arm for us. Thank you and Godspeed, Sir! It also was a pleasure see Margarette again!
A Cook, a Shepard (with an a) and a Phillips
With Ike’s departure our Retired-Minister corps—Tom Cook, Mike Shepard and Tom Phillips—have been filling our pulpit with inspiration, wisdom and wit. Tom is also serving as Moderator (chair) of Session meetings, the administration of the church. It is priceless to have these gifted folks in our congregation.
Reverend J. Decherd Guess–“Deck”— to discuss a possible call as our Minister
Deck preached the last two Sundays of July, and will meet with the Session in two weeks. We are very hopeful & praying mightily about this!
Mary Jean Welch Moving to Athens, Georgia
Mary Jane and her husband Billy were active members and leaders of this church and are remembered by many of us. On the 16th of this month she is moving to be nearer her children. Contact us if you would like her new address etc. Send her a note, she loves us!

It’s a work in progress but it is up to date and tells our story…
God keep you…
