Hey Midcurrent,

The book of Ecclesiastes reminds us that there is a season for everything. And that is so very true at Midcurrent right now. We are currently in a season of great growth, but also a season of change.

Less than a year ago, we added Jonathan to the pastoral team at Midcurrent.
Becki Reed just recently joined our team as my wife Erica stepped back from some of the formal roles she volunteered to fill for the last seven years.
And in this month of May, we said goodbye to Brian Smith and also welcomed Josh O’meara to our team.

I’m writing today to let you know of one more change we are anticipating this summer. June 30th will be Lexi Neuman’s last Sunday as our MC Kids Director. What you may not know is that later this summer Lexi and her husband John are expecting their first child.  And Lexi has prayerfully decided that she will transition from a part time member of our staff to a full time mom. While we will miss Lexi a great deal, we could not be more excited for this next season in her life. And we are also thrilled to know she’s not planning on going anywhere. When the time is right, she is looking forward to jumping back into MC Kids as a classroom teacher investing into the next generation of Jesus followers.

Lexi will leave some big shoes to fill, but I could not be more confident in the one who is stepping in to fill them. Starting on June 16, Carley Maley will begin grabbing the reins from Lexi as our interim MC Kids Director. If Carley’s name sounds familiar, it’s most likely because she is pastor Jonathan’s wife.  And it’s important for you to know that Carley is not assuming this role because that’s what a pastor’s wife is supposed to do. Carley is incredibly passionate about ministry to kids, and her masters degree in education plus her huge heart for Jesus make her a perfect fit for this role at this time. And we were so thrilled to see her raise her hand for the job.

Change is never easy, but I truly believe God is in all of the details and is working all things out for the good of those walking through our doors week in and week out.

Looking forward to what God has in store for us next. Glad to have you along for the journey.

See you Sunday for Week 1 of our brand new message series, Verified: The Authentic Traits of Jesus Followers.
