Change of Pastoral Appointment – Erin, Tennessee

Uncategorized

Pastor Sammy and Wanda Allen

Today, I am announcing the change of pastoral appointments for the Erin Church.  Pastor Sammy and Wanda Allen have made the decision to resign from the local church at Erin and move to Bismarck, North Dakota.  We are thankful for their ministry in Tennessee at the Wrigley and Erin churches.  At this time, Pastor Sammy will be taking a sabbatical from pastoral ministry and Wanda will be returning to a work at a former employer in North Dakota.

Their two children, Jason and Cristina moved to North Dakota recently and are working there.

I ask all of our folks in Tennessee to join me in prayer for the Allen Family as they turn the page on a new chapter in their life.

I know that they will be welcomed in North Dakota.

This appointment change is effective immediately.
