An Important Letter from Ryon Dear Beloved Second B Friends, After much careful consideration and prayer, I have accepted an invitation to preach in view of a call to become the next Senior Pastor of Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas. I will preach there at Broadway during the Sunday morning worship on August 13th. The congregation will then vote on the Broadway Baptist Senior Pastor Search Committee's recommendation of me as the sole finalist for the position. Should this recommendation be accepted by the congregation of Broadway, August 27th will be my last Sunday at Second B and I will begin my ministry in Fort Worth on September 1st. Second B has been a part of my family's life for four generations and a part of my life since I was in the womb. Being called to pastor one's home church is rare. Being called to pastor a home church like Second B is extraordinary. You have loved me, Irie, and the children so well. I have so much thanks and gratitude for all that you are and all that you have helped me and my family to become. We will always look upon this time at Second B as a truly beloved season for us all. The Vision and Leadership Team is already working on a transition plan for the seasons to come.  We, of course, do not yet know what exactly the future will look like; but I do know that it will be full of the life, light, and oneness that has always been our beloved Second B. Irie and I sense a great peace about our new call. I ask for your prayers and your blessings; and I pray you know you shall always have mine. With love and gratitude, Ryon
