New Pastor and Family at Peoria.
Pick-up trucks started to gather at 7:30 AM, July 10th at Di's Restaurant across the river from Peoria. The Peoria “Brethren Movers” were answering the call from another who had answered the call. This group was on its way, almost 3 hours north, to Streamwood, Illinois, the home of Pastor Dana McNeil. Pastor McNeil had answered the call of the Peoria Church for a full time Minister and was just waiting to move his family to Peoria.
Pastor Dana, wife Cathy and daughters Shannon and Megan arrived after Annual Conference at their new church home, Peoria First. Pastor Dana was a member of the Highland Ave. Church and had been interim Pastor at Rockford. He completed the Training in Ministry program from the Brethren Academy at Bethany Seminary in Richmond, IN. before coming to Peoria. Cathy McNeil is a design engineer, Megan is a Freshman at Dunlap High School and Shannon begins her first year at Bridgewater College.
Pastor Dana was installed by the District Minister, Jim Yaussy Albright, on Sunday July 25th. The Peoria Church enthusiastically welcomes Pastor Dana and family to Peoria.
