New Administrative Assistant begins March 5



It is with mixed emotions that we announce that our CGGC Cross-Cultural Ministries Assistant, Kara Norris, will be leaving us later this month. She and husband, Chuck, entered the adoption process some months ago. They are preparing for the arrival of a newborn. It may happen as early as March 24. The exact timing is unknown, but they have to be prepared to accept a child at any moment after that. 

We rejoice with them as they prepare to enter this new phase in their family experience. She is committed to being a full-time mother. However, we regret losing her. She has brought creative energy and expertise to the Administrative Assistant role that has blessed us beyond expectation. But knowing that we needed to adequately prepare for her eventual departure, she encouraged us to begin the process of finding her replacement. 

That person is Pam Lopez who will begin next Monday, March 5, and have three-weeks overlap with Kara before Kara's departure. Pam will work 30 hours per week (as did Kara) and normally have Thursdays off. Her new email address will be pam@cggc.org. 

Please pray for Kara and Chuck as they await the arrival of their child; and pray for Pam as she joins our missions department and office staff. Our desire is to serve effectively for the advancement of God's kingdom and glory.
