Well, after lots of prayer and seeking the Lord, we have accepted the Youth and Worship position at Denton Wesleyan Church in Denton, NC. We will be moving in a week or so in order to be a part of both NC East youth camps. Thanks for all your encouragement and prayers. I especially want to thank the people of Chi United who have been so supportive and encouraging during this whole process for our family. So I have a lot to be thankful for. Here’s a list of praises and requests…
1. Some people never get to work at a great loving church. Denton will be my third great loving church. Central First and Chi United are both great churches with people who loved and helped me to grow in my faith.
2. I have been able to work with great pastors-Fred Andrews, Tom Harding, Pete Wood, Mike McClung, and now Charlie Collins and Kelsey Hart.
3. We have lived in two great communities and are moving to a third great community.
4. I have worked with awesome teens and leaders in SC and Pennsylvania and look forward to working with great teens and leaders in Denton. From Nancy Zeigler, Bill Weeks, Dr. J, the Woods and the dozens of college interns in Central to Lynda Pusey, Kevin and Lisa Nodis, Charlie Kramp, Paul and Karen Taylor at Chichester, I have been surrounded by great adult leaders(even the ones I may have forgotten to mention by name). I also can’t say enough about the teens at each church. It is hard to leave such amazing kids.
5. Bottom line…I am blessed. My family is blessed.
Requests…
1. Pray for my mom as she watches our kids this week. Pray for her strength and for our kids to listen and mind her.
2. Pray for traveling safety for Karen and I as we drive and move to Denton next week.
3. Pray for Chi United as they search for a new assistant pastor and for Denton in the transitions there.
4. Pray especially for me as I finish preparations to speak at NC East Senior High camp. To quote Perry Noble,”God is rocking my face off right now!”
Much love to all my friends, neighbors and family. To be continued….
Heath,
WOW! That’s big news. I’ll do my best to remember to lift your name in prayer as you go through this change. I know how tough and how rewarding transitions can be. You’ll do awesome.
Dude, it’s going to be awesome to have you guys so close. Can’t wait to hang out.
No fair!
Congrats,
Charlie is a great guy, you’ll have a good time working with him. Get y’all back to south too.
