I would like to express my gratitude to the
members and friends of Hartford First United Methodist Church for
the warm welcome that our family received as we moved into
the community. My entire family would like to thank the
Mustard Seeds for providing meals for us during our first week of
moving in and getting our house set up. I can say without a
doubt that you are living that portion of our mission statement of
"welcoming everyone."
We have been looking forward to getting here
and we are excited about being in ministry with you here in
Hartford. As time moves on I will get to know you all better
and you will get to know me and my family better. I have a
wonderful wife Serena and we have two sons Matthew and Joshua.
Matthew will be three years only on the 23rd of July and Joshua
will turn one on August 28th.
Being in Hartford is like being home for me.
I grew up in Walton County in the Center Ridge Community north of
DeFuniak Springs. Therefore, I have been familiar with
Hartford all of my life. Serena is originally from
Blountstown and is happy to be closer to her family than we were
previously in Fairhope. However, it is more than the
geography that makes Hartford seem like home. We thank all
of you for making us feel at home here and we look forward to
making our home here with you. I am confident that God has a
lot in store for the Hartford First United Methodist Church and we
look forward to sharing in that with you.
Blessings, |
