The Dunn congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a new bishop. Bruce Hudson succeeds Cary Bragg, who served for five years.
The Church of Jesus Christ has a lay ministry. Bishops and other local leaders serve voluntarily, without pay, and do so in addition to the family, employment, and other community responsibilities. Members do not generally request specific positions. Instead, local leaders extend assignments after seeking guidance from the Lord through prayer. After Hudson expressed his willingness to accept this new calling, his name was presented to the Dunn congregation for approval.
Bishop Hudson has lived in Falcon, North Carolina for sixty-eight years and is a retired farmer. He and his wife Margaret own a cotton gin and enjoy living the small-town life where they raised a wonderful family together.
Serving with Bishop Hudson as counselors are Jeffrey Herman and Allen Cogdell, who will help him carry out the responsibility of ministering to the congregation's spiritual and temporal needs.

“Unbelievably humbled with a great feeling of inadequacy is how I feel today! I trust in God to give me the tools I need to fulfill the job he has given me. I feel honored to serve,” said Hudson.
The Dunn congregation meets at 2305 West Cumberland Street, Dunn, North Carolina 28334-6531. Visitors are always welcome to join worship services each Sunday at 10:00 a.m.
