This Sunday we will officially place membership with the Mt. Hope Church of Christ in Webb City. We have been attending Mt. Hope since January. Mt. Hope is a congregation in north Joplin with a Sunday morning attendance of about 375.
When we first arrived in Columbus in July of 2009 we attended the Columbus Church of Christ. They are a great group of Christian people. Debbie and I were just use to a larger church with many different ministries to choose from. We felt Mt. Hope would be a better place for us to use the gifts God has blessed us with. We loved the Central Church in Topeka where we worshipped and ministered for a number of years and served as an elder.
Sunday, we will visit with the elders for an orientation session where they will discuss their expectations for us and we will discuss our gifts we wish to share with them. We have enjoyed getting to know them and the congregation the past several months.
It has been a positive year visiting congregations and allowing God to place us in the right place for ministry. It has felt like we have been on a sabbatical in the aspect of teaching. I taught for about 10 consecutive years. It was nice to be fed by some excellent teachers the past 55 weeks.
We look forward to our new ministry at Mt. Hope.
