“The world in which we find ourselves is full of fog and fallacies, but so it is full of the unfailing love of God. In a world where countless ideologies vie for our allegiances, the biblical narrative invites us into an understanding of human history where we encounter the one whose authority is ultimate and presence is real. Our mission is thus to tell the old, old story, to live within this story and the kingdom it proclaims, and to invite others into the narrative that is continually moving us from the particular to the universal, from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. As Christians aware of God’s reign among us, we must not fear the historical accident that shaped the moods both in and around us, but we can live as visionaries of God's grace, harbingers of hope, and catalysts for transformation. For we testify to the radical work of the Cross in Jerusalem and in our hearts, and to the uniqueness of Jesus Christ who, unlike any other, exchanges guilt for grace, ashes for beauty, and sorrow for joy, yesterday, today, and forever." -Jill Carattini
The end is in sight! After…
…we have narrowed our search down to two possible candidates.
It has been a challenging process but it has been exciting connecting with so many people who love God and love students.
The search committee has been great throughout this process and still yet has some important work left to accomplish. As the candidates wrap up their interviews with the staffing committee, our plan is to in the coming weeks beginning on March 26th to have the candidates plan, organize, and run a Wednesday night youth meeting and be able to interact with the students. Both the junior high and senior high students will therefore be able to share their thoughts and comments with the committee.
Please continue to pray for this search process as we begin to near the end.
