Well, the move has begun. This was my first full week working at Liberty Bible Church, and it was a real joy. In addition to getting my temporary office situated, I got to meet and mingle with the rest of the staff. Tuesday was a day that was full of meetings with various staff groups, including the rest of the ministry leaders. What a godly group of people. I look forward to rubbing shoulders with them on a daily basis.
I still have one more Sunday at Family Bible Church before I begin my full schedule of responsibilities at Liberty. Julie and I anticipate that this Sunday will be very difficult because we have come to love the people of FBC dearly. I think that the hardest part will be saying goodbye to the tech and worship teams. I know that I will have opportunity to see them again after Sunday but I will really miss working in the trenches with them each week.
However, I am looking forward to getting to know my new teams at Liberty. I am jazzed about learning new procedures and working with some equipment of which I only have book knowledge.
You all can be praying that I will be patient with my own learning curve, and wise about how I interact with new team members. I need the Lord’s guidance as I take the mantel of leadership to a new level.
Thanks all for your interest in this process. I will continue to update you on what the Lord is doing. In the meantime, I welcome your comments.
