This list will continue to be updated as appointment projections are made. FInd projected Part-Time Appointments at ngumc.org/projected-2022-part-time-appointments.
“I am in prayer this ‘Announcement Sunday’ for all the churches and clergy entering into a season of transition. Rest assured that hours of prayer and deep conversation undergird this list of projected appointments,” said Bishop Sue Haupert-Johnson.
“I pray our clergy families will find joy and a warm welcome at their new congregations, and that our congregations will be blessed by the gifts of their new leaders. I know clergy are eager to welcome their colleagues moving into their districts, and laity will make the extra effort to help these clergy families quickly feel at home,” she said. “May the Holy Spirit give comfort in the midst of change and calm anxious hearts during this time of transition.”
