Hey Midcurrent,

Not long ago, we informed you of some health challenges for our Worship Director Josh O’meara. We mentioned that we would have an update in May, and I wanted to provide that update for you today.

This spring, Josh began experiencing some unexpected mental health related obstacles. It was clear that Josh’s best path toward health and recovery was with his family in California, and we did our best to provide that space and time for him.

Josh is a great fit on our team as well as a tremendous asset to our ministry and church family, and we are hopeful that he will resume his responsibilities. At the same time, we are in the midst of some exciting growth and momentum, and we do need each position on our team filled as we head into the fall of 2025.

As a result, we have determined that we will hold Josh’s position as Worship Director for him until July 1.  If Josh does not believe he will able to resume his responsibilities at that time, then, sadly, we will begin a search for a new Worship Director.

If Josh does confirm his readiness to resume his role by July 1, we will then offer him a return-to-work date of August 18 which will coincide with my return from sabbatical.  This unique timeline will allow our team to welcome Josh back into the mix in the most smooth and supportive way possible.

We invite you to continue praying for Josh, as well as for the continued movement of God’s Spirit here at Midcurrent.

Let me also say that I am hopeful to see you this Sunday. It’s Mother’s Day, Child Dedication, as well as my last Sunday before a brief summer sabbatical. Should be a great morning…won’t be the same without you!
