VLM CALLS NEW MINISTER!

VISTA LA MESA CHRISTIAN CHURCH CALLS         

REV. REBECCA LITTLEJOHN AS PASTOR

At a specially called Board meeting, August 28 the Search Committee unanimously recommended their candidate to the Board. One week later at a special congregational meeting following church, the Board unanimously proposed Rev. Rebecca Littlejohn’s name to be voted upon. The congregation also voted unanimously to call Rev. Littlejohn to serve as the new called pastor of Vista La Mesa Christian church.

Chair of the Search Committee, Dick Penny, reports that a contract was sent to her in

Alabama and has now been received back here with the proper signatures. Rev. Littlejohn

has now resigned her position and is making plans to move to California as soon as her

obligations and responsibilities are fulfilled at First Christian Church, Anniston, AL.

Her husband, Todd, will be arriving with their truck packed with boxes and begin

looking for their new home shortly. Rebecca’s mother visited her last week to help begin

the packing process. Her first day in the office will be November 15. And it’s not possible

to tell who is the happiest with these wonderful new plans: the minister with the new

congregation or the congregation with the new minister. There is real enthusiasm and

sincere thankfulness to God for the successful outcome to the year and a half it has taken to

arrive at this Good News. Well done, Search Committee, Board and Congregation.
