First of all, I also want to extend a special thank you to Rose Taylor! For those who participated in online worship or Drive-In Worship, Rose shared in bringing the Word last Sunday by sharing her experience of racism and impact from Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s message. I know that you, like myself, were incredibly blessed by her witness. One of our core values is authenticity and Rose definitely exemplified that core value last Sunday! Thank you, Rose! Click here if you missed the message or just want to experience it again. 

 It is with great joy that I introduce to you Jeff Jones our new Director of Marketing and Communications. Jeff brings an extensive background in communications from his previous experience. Most recently, Jeff served as the Program Manager of Rise Against Hunger here in North Dallas. Jeff will serve on staff at Lovers Lane UMC with a portion of his time devoted to internal communication with our Walnut Hill Church and external communication with our community. Please help us welcome Jeff Jones! 

Please join me in praying for our new neighbors. We’ve been notified that the property to our south, the former Dallas Government Center, has been sold. The owner intends to convert this space into 48 townhomes! We are so excited about the possibility of gaining countless new neighbors! Please join us as we begin praying now about how we can extend our core value of belonging, creating space for everyone to connect with others and with God, to these potential new neighbors! 

Finally, join us in serving Thomas Jefferson High School! They are in need of people to go serve by going to student's homes and giving them some positive reinforcement. If you are interested, please join us in the training on Wednesday, 1/28, either at 9 am or 6 pm. Information is below. Let us know if you plan on attending.
