Sunday's Sermon, April 17, 2016
Dr. Kevin Mannoia & Pastor Heather Rickert

Congregational Vote ResultsWe have great news to share. The congregational vote affirmed the calling of Tara Beth Leach to be PazNaz's Lead Pastor and she has accepted! We were thrilled that she received 399 Yes votes (80.77%) and only 95 No votes (19.23%). The Manual calls for at least a two-thirds favorable vote of the congregation to extend a call, so this was a strong showing and we couldn't be happier.[Your Church Board]
