It is both a glorious and a sad day for Faith Evangelical Presbyterian Church. I am writing to let you know that our esteemed Teaching Fellow, Dr. Wilfred A. Bellamy has accepted a pastoral post as Stated Supply Pastor at the Thomson Presbyterian Church (ARP). As you recall, Dr. Bellamy served this congregation previously as their pastor for several years.

He and Nancy will be moving back to Georgia to begin this new work July 1st 2012, and continue there until such a time that the TPC is prepared and able to again call a full-time pastor. At this point it is difficult to discern the future, and it cannot be known whether this will take weeks, months, or possibly years.

For this reason, his upcoming series on Revelation in our Adult Sunday School program will be postponed indefinitely. His work both in pulpit and lecturn has been greatly admired by this young pastor.

Dr. Bellamy and his wife have been a wonderful asset to the ministry of Faith Church, and will be missed greatly. We look forward to the day when they will be able to return to our congregation in the joy of our fellowship. As a great mentor to myself and many others, I with to congratulate and pray for my brother in this new endeavor. I can only hope to have the pastoral resolve and willingness to follow Christ as Dr. Bellamy has evidenced for decades.

--Matthew Everhard, Senior Pastor.
