Please help us welcome our new pastor, Timothy Wyer. He will begin at Fithian on August 1st. Here is his personal statement:

Greetings. My name is Timothy Wyer. I was raised and still live in Georgetown, Il. I am 65 years old, retired, divorced, a father of 3 children, 2 daughters, Heather, 41 and Stephanie, 39 and a son, Ethan, 35. I have 10 grandchildren, 5 grandsons and 5 granddaughters ranging in age from 19 to 13. In addition, my youngest daughter is going through the adoption process of adding 4 more children, 3 boys ages 8, 8 and 6 and a girl age 4. One of the 8 year olds and the 6 year old have birthdays coming in August.

I attend the United Methodist Church in Georgetown. I was baptized and confirmed as a member of the church in 1974. I was raised in the Methodist Church and have a wonderful relationship with others in my church. They have encouraged and strengthened me along my faith journey.

Experiencing God's calling over me has been a long process of Him trying to get my attention. I believe it began before I was even aware of it. But, when I did become aware of His call I was attending an evening church service at the Rantoul UMC. I was prompted to read the scripture a week later. I was not comfortable with reading in front of the congregation. I finally relented after a week long debate with God and got up and read the scripture. I realized afterwards that it wasn't nearly as bad as I feared. Soon after I took the basic lay servant course. That has lead me to the certified lay servant, then the certified lay speaker, then CLM. Now I am praying what's next in this process for God's calling. It has taken me a long time to reach this point, but I truly believe it has been worth it. I feel led to explore it further and see where the next step in God's calling leads me. For me the exciting part is discovering and discerning what is the next step in ministry.It is exciting to help and discover where God is going to lead others in ministry. I have passions for ministering men and families to discover their place in God's plan. Strong men and families I believe are crucial and needed to have a strong church and give hope in a hurting world.
