Church Family,
It is with a bittersweet spirit I inform you that Hannah Bartl, our children’s director, has accepted a position to teach at a school near their home in Alabama beginning the next school year. It is bitter because of the tremendous value Hannah has added to our staff team and church community throughout her excellent tenure with us. Her ministry has
helped change lives and grow our program, and consequently our church! She will be deeply missed by all. Her last day with us will be July 31, 2020.
It is sweet news because she will be teaching in the same school that all three of her children will attend next year. It was an opportunity her family could not turn down due mostly to her call to educate young minds, the added daily convenience to her family, and her desire to be on campus with her own three children. She, Adam, and all three of their children (Abby, Sam, and Shepard) plan to remain actively involved in our church and she plans to continue volunteering with our programming. We praise God for Hannah’s ministry and pray for her continued success.
In July we will plan a celebration for Hannah’s five years of ministry with our young people and their families. Rae Menard, director of program ministries, will be organizing a way for our children to express their gratitude for Hannah!
The Staff Parish Relations Committee has organized a search committee and interview team with a goal of hiring the new children’s director by July 1, 2020, so that the new team member can have plenty of time working alongside of Hannah. For the job description, job announcement, or more information please contact Levi at

We praise God for Hannah Bartl and her service to Christ, and we pray that He continue to bless and work through her!
God's Peace,
David
