A New
Pastor
Our new pastor who arrives August 7
in Hong Kong is the Rev. Scott Lawson. He will bring his
wife, MaryBeth, and young daughter. Pastor Lawson is
ordained in the Presbyterian Church USA and comes to
serve Commuinity Church Hong Kong after five years as the
founding pastor of the Ivyland Church in
Pennsylvania.
Pastor Lawson was chosen by our
Church Council upon the recommendation of our search
committee which conducted an eight month's world search for
the successor to our founding Pastor, the Rev. Gene
Preston.
The entire congregation was
thrilled with the response of seventy two applicants from a
half dozen countries. The quality of the candidates was
outstanding.
The Church Council together with
the Search Committee wish to sincerely thank Rev. Gene
Preston and his wife Nancy for the care, love and spiritual
leadership they have showered on the congregation since it
was founded three years ago. They played a key role in
helping the congregation clarify and develop their vision
for the Church. They will be remembered fondly for years to
come.
