Report From Interim Pastoral Selection Committee
Introducing our new Interim Pastor Rev. Jeffrey Mark Hensley.
The interim pastoral committee has unanimously recommended the Rev. Mark Hensley to the Church Council for consideration to be our interim pastor. This week the Church Council unanimously approved the recommendation. And, so, we have a new interim pastor at First Congregational Christian Church in Mukwonago. The Rev. Mark Hensley. Rev. Mark has graciously accepted the offer.
Many of you will be familiar with Rev. Mark as he was the guest preacher Easter Sunday. Pastor Mark has an extensive background in ministry. Most recently with a non-denominational church in Monticello, WI and prior to that with the Methodist church where he was ordained.
Pastor Mark lives in Waterford and is also a full time State Farm insurance agent with an office in Delavan. As such Pastor Mark will be joining us as a Part Time pastor while he also maintains his business.
Pastor Mark will begin his official duties with FCC on Monday May 6. His first Sunday will be on Mother's Day May 12.
Respectfully submitted
Jamie Pennington
Chair Interim Pastor Search Committee.

Dignity for Girls Program at Mission School of Hope in Cameroon, Africa
The Missions Team voted to send $500 to the MSOH Dignity for Girls Program at our meeting this past Wednesday.
Dignity for Girls was born as a response to some of the bitter situations the girls are facing in their communities that strip them of their honor, dignity, positive self-esteem and the joy of being a female. Many girls in the poor and desperate communities go about without underwear and can be victims of sexual violence, infections, shame and embarrassment. MSOH is fixing that problem by their implementation of this program by distributing underwear and sanitary pads to the girls in the surrounding areas. This brings much joy to the girls, as they can now attend school without worries. (Information taken from the MSOH Newsletter)
