To Everything a Season
June 16, 2008
Yesterday morning, I announced to the body of believers at Citadel Square Baptist Church, where I have served since 2002, that I have accepted a call to serve as the Associate Pastor of Worship at the First Baptist Church of Edgefield, South Carolina. To be sure, the last six years have been wonderful in many, many unforgettable ways. And, as is always the case, they have had their share of heartache. We leave behind many friends who will remain dear to my family and me for the rest of our lives. And we leave behind my favorite city on this planet; it has held that place in my heart since my family began vacationing here when I was just a boy. (Ok, I’m starting to sound old now.)
Life will be very different. I’ve always been a city boy. There are four–yes, four–Starbucks locations within walking distance of my current office. Where we’re headed, the closest Starbucks is a 25 minute drive away. But one of the many things we’re very much looking forward to is a different pace of life. No more 30-45 minute drives to church; we’ll live across the street. And we’re looking forward to building relationships with some spectacularly kind people. We’ve already begun to build friendships. There is a sense of excitement on both sides of this move.
As we go, we pray for the congregation of Citadel Square Baptist Church. We pray that God will use her for His glory and His good purposes to reach the city of Charleston with His redemptive message. We look forward with great anticipation to what He will do with us and through us in Edgefield.
Impacting the Kingdom Through Worship,
