Does anyone know where Bob and Joyce Lang are now? Joyce is Jerry Smith's sister?

I am not sure, but didn't they pastor at the church in Wilmington, IL? I think it was Bob. I am not sure where they are now, but they stepped down from that church in the last few weeks, and their son-in-law Steve is pastoring there now (was the associate pastor before).

I may be wrong, but I think this is the couple you are referring to. I was up there last weekend (grew up in Wilmington, though not in that church) and we attended Sunday morning there, Steve had a great message, I'm hoping some friends of mine up there who are looking for a church are going back.

Joyce Lang is Jerry Smith's sister. They use to pastor in SC I think. Great family- haven't heard from them in several years.

You're right, I couldn't think of thier names (other than Lang) and I knew they had some family connection with Jerry Smith, but couldn't remember exactly what.

By the way jDavis, where in IL are you?

I grew up in Wilmington, and still have friends up that way, and my wife's cousin pastors a CoG down near Urbana.
