The Rev. Owen Weddle has been appointed pastor for Sturgis/Big Creek United Methodist Churches, started effective Tuesday.
Weddle comes from the Weir and Salem United Methodist Churches, where he has served as pastor for the past year.
Weddle, who is from Brandon, graduated in psychology from Mississippi State University in 2007, and is currently enrolled online through Asbury Theological Seminary.
He succeeds the Rev. Ron Barham, pastor and executive director of Wood Institute, who is moving to Collinsville.
The two churches alternate Sunday services, with the first and third Sundays at Big Creek, and the second and fourth Sundays at Sturgis. Sunday School is at 9:30 a.m. and worship at 10:30 a.m.
“Owen is another one of God’s many blessings. Bro. Ron and his wife Carrol will be sorely missed. They have prepared us well to receive a new minister to continue their great work,” said Cindy Hatter, Pastor-Parish Relations Committee chairwoman. |
