WHAT TO DO NOW Remember, the church is a body and every body will have seasons of health and seasons of struggle. There may be some hurt and disappointment at East Swamp, but there is no crisis. Be thankful. East Swamp is vulnerable. Small mistakes can have costly consequences. Be careful. Do not rush or pressure leadership for filling any positions quickly. You have capable pastoral staff and elders who will communicate with you, along with your help will keep ministry moving. Guard your spirit and protect the unity. Pray for your leaders.
