Ellaville Methodist Church holds going-away for pastor
On Sunday, Sept. 30, Ellaville United Methodist Church held a going-away dinner for their pastor and his wife, Jonathan and Leeanne Beckum.
The church always has a fifth Sunday dinner. This was a special occasion. We have been honored to have had the Rev. Jonathan and Leeanne with us for three years. They have been transferred to Montezuma. He’s a very dedicated pastor and we all wish them well as they move on.
