Pastoral Staff Changes at EMC
News

From the Chairman of the Board of Stewards:

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:4)

The Holy Spirit preceded and presided over our Special Church Conference held June 21, 2017, which saw the largest turnout for a church meeting in the history of ECEMC. The church unanimously approved the call of Pastor Sean Scribner as Senior Pastor. Testimony was given that this has never happened before in the history of ECEMC. The church also approved the call of Jeff Wortman as Minister of Music and Worship. Jeff’s first day on staff will be August 15, 2017.

Please continue to pray for God’s church at EMC, our staff, and leadership team.

Pressing into Jesus together,

Chairman, Board of Stewards

Pastor Sean Scribner Appointed Interim Lead Pastor
News

From the Chairman of the Board of Stewards:

Rev. Ike Cowell, Conference Superintendent with the Evangelical Methodist Church, appointed Sean Scribner as interim lead pastor with an effective date of April 17, 2017. The Board of Stewards and Pastoral Relations Committee unanimously requested this appointment.

The lead pastor position became vacant as Pastors Bill and Diane Ury accepted God’s call as National Ambassadors of Holiness with the Salvation Army in February of this year. The Ury’s have been with Elizabeth City EMC for four and a half years.

Pastor Sean assumes this position with a calling and a heart to be a lead pastor. He describes his new role as “shepherding and equipping of the saints for the work of ministering to others.”

The Pastoral Relations Committee, in collaboration with the Conference Superintendent, has responsibility for administering the search for a lead pastor.

Good Friday Tenebrae Service
News

You are invited to join EMC for our Good Friday tenebrae service on April 14th, 2017 at 6pm. The word ‘tenebrae’ is Latin for shadows. The purpose of the service is to rehearse the betrayal, abandonment, and agony of the passion of Jesus Christ. It is intentionally left unfinished because the story isn’t over until Easter Sunday morning. By the reading of key passion texts of Scripture, combined with the progressive extinguishing of candles until achieving total darkness, tenebrae services recreate the emotional aspects of the passion story, therefore they are by nature somber. Experiencing the tenebrae provides participants with a poignant reminder of the cross of Christ, while preparing the heart to anticipate Easter.

Come join us for this unique service of worship in the chapel of Evangelical Methodist Church.
