Celebrate and Send the Curry Family — With Pie! (This Sunday)
Let’s celebrate and send our first Lead Pastor Resident together!
When: THIS SUNDAY! May 3rd, after the service (from around 11:30am till 1:30pm)
Where: The Commons (adjacent to our auditorium)
What to bring: PIES!
As Pastor Jayson told us about last week, God has called him and his family to Grace Church West Seattle as their new Associate Pastor! This is so exciting for us for a few reasons.
First, because we love the Curry family. While they are ‘going’ they are not actually going anywhere! In fact, they are even buying the house they’ve rented for the past two years. Literally, they are going nowhere! We still get to see them, even if we are part of different churches.
Second, this news is exciting for us because we love Grace Church. They have been close brothers and sisters in Christ and we have partnered with them for worship, community service, and various events for years. It is a great blessing to get to bless them by sending the Currys to them.
Third, this news is exciting for us because we started the Lead Pastor Residency with the heart of “equipping faithful and healthy pastors to serve faithful and healthy churches in the Puget Sound region and beyond.” We firmly believe that for the church in the region to flourish, we need more pastors who are committed to Jesus, his church, and his mission—for the long haul. While we know that not all residents will stay in the region, it is so encouraging that we now have one more faithful and healthy pastor in Seattle!
Let’s praise God for giving us the Currys and allowing us to be a part of their journey into pastoral ministry.
