Soooo . . . letting go of teaching for an entire summer is - EASY - when I am so Confident in our Teaching Team. They have a great level of Credibility and Competence. The unity we experience, the joy and energy we share in preparing; the deep understanding of and love for the congregation we serve make letting go of this responsibility for this season a delight!
Pastor Peter Yoshonis and Pastor Dave Horne will be carrying the bulk of the teaching times. They are delivering two summer series that we all assisted in developing. These series will have year-long impact on us.
At SLWC we strive to be about Developing People. The Teaching Team is a wonderful example of this mission fulfilled.
Please be in prayer for this team:
- Weekly preparation in the midst of their regular responsibilities
- Anointing from the Holy Spirit
- Deeper Mission Engagement (this is not a static or "holding on" time but a time of growth and progress
It's going to be a great summer in the Word!

Dennis,
We are so blessed as a church to have a teaching team as committed as you. Altough we will miss YOUR teaching, you are leaving the blessing to Pastor Pete and Pastor Dave.
At the end of the summer we will be blessed once again when you return, refreshed, renewed and ready to dig in once again. We all will look forward to that day, but until then - may God renew,refresh and inspire you as you take time to soak up all that God has to offer.
God Bless You Dennis,
Mike O'Kelly
