It's always fun to share great news, and that's just what I want to do today.
First, let's celebrate together the arrival of our new Pastor of Connection & Care, Will Regier! He and his wife, Stephanie, and their two children, Isabella and Malachai, arrived in Newton last weekend. They are getting settled, and Will is starting in the office this coming Monday. We are excited for him to join the team! They'll be around this Sunday, so be sure to say hi if you see them.
Second, we're excited to announce Sean Gardiner as our new Student Ministries Pastor! Yay! Sean brings a true passion for youth ministry, as well as a ton of creativity, wisdom, and experience which is sure to be a blessing to our youth and our church. He and his wife, Susan, and their daughters, Sayge and Scotlyn, are moving to Kansas at the beginning of July. Sean will start in the office on July 12.
It's been fun to see how God is providing for our church! This past year has brought its fair share of change, transition, and uncertainty. But God has been faithful to provide and sustain us through it. Thank you for your prayers!
We look forward to seeing you Sunday as we continue our way through the Sermon on the Mount.
Blessings,
Juli Dirks
Executive Director of Ministries
