First off, I want to thank Joey Stewart for stepping up as our Summer Intern after the Youth Director departed. Joey filled the leadership void with maturity and fearlessness. Next, I’d like to do a shout out for Matt Easter as he has been leading the Sunday morning Bible Study by sharing in-depth knowledge of the 7 churches in Revelation.
Paul Baugher has volunteered to lead the Wednesday night Chi Alpha activities with a focus on discipleship and how youth can develop their daily walk with Christ. This will include how to study the Bible, importance of daily prayer and devotion time as well as how to share Christ with others.
As the Interim to the Interim Youth Leader, I will be leading the Sunday morning Bible Study time now that Matt has concluded his series in Revelation. My plan is to lead Chi Alpha with studying different books/characters of the Bible and play off what Paul Baugher is teaching on Wednesday nights. I plan to be in this role until we find our new Interim Youth Leader.
Update on Interim Youth Leader search, as a member of the Personnel Committee I can tell you that this is our committee’s number 1 priority. We have contacted a few area church leaders who are now on the lookout for helping us find our new Interim Youth Leader. We also will be leveraging Matt Easter’s connections to the MoBap student body as we continue to search. However, that help will come once sometime after college classes begins.
