George Wilkes Receives a Call to First Presbyterian Church in Manning, S.C.
In a letter to Foothills Presbytery on April 10, Executive Presbyter-Stated Clerk George Wilkes expressed his desire to return to the familiar rhythm of preaching, teaching and pastoral care. Having been open to what God would have him do, he believes that the time has come to end his service to Foothills Presbytery. George will begin his new position as Pastor of the church in Manning, SC on June 1. Foothills Presbytery wishes him all the best. We will miss you, George.
