Lake Avenue Church: Mayra Nolan to Provide Leadership to LAC’s Community Outreach

In the fall of last year, in a commitment to strengthening our ministries, the Ministry Council affirmed some changes. First, the Lake Avenue Community Foundation has secunded Mayra Nolan for the first six months of 2012 to provide leadership to LAC’s community outreach. Second, Pastor Greg Waybright will give overall oversight to the worship/arts ministries for the first half of 2012 and John Stothers will give full focus to the development of a more comprehensive ministry for our Saturday night service. And third, the Children’s and Student Ministries will combine together, with Pastor Jeff Mattesich serving as the associate pastor of this ministry.

In this decision to combine the ministries, Pastor Tracy Trautman was offered a pastoral position in Children’s Ministries, but after much thought and prayer, there was a mutual recognition that this was not the right position for her. With this realization, Lake will be coming alongside her during this time of transition as she finishes her ministry at Lake at the end of January. Plans are underway for how we will express our deep gratitude to her. She will be greatly missed.
