It gives me great pleasure today to welcome Tim Mudder to the staff of DeSoto Hills. He will be serving in a part time position as our Minister of College and Career. We recognize the need to help this age group stay connected with the Lord and the church during their days of transition. We graduated a large number of seniors last year who are scattered all over the state in numerous college settings. Tim will seek to stay in touch with them and let them know their church family is thinking of them. At the same time, he will be working with those who are attending schools closer to home and able to still be actively involved here. Pray for Tim as he launches this brand new ministry and join me in welcoming him to our staff. I want to thank the Personnel Management Team and the Stewardship Ministry Team for their involvement in this crucial ministry step. We must continue to build a staff to help meet the ever increasing needs of this growing church.

On that same note, the Staff Search Team is pleased to announce that a prospective Minister of Discipleship will be with us on October 6-7. More details will follow, but for now, mark you calendar and plan to be with us on Saturday for an informal “meet and greet” gathering. On Sunday he will be preaching in both morning services. We will then vote on extending a call to him in the evening service. The Staff Search Team is in the early stages of talking with some prospective Minister to Students, so keep them in your prayers. These are some exciting days as the Lord brings folks here to help equip the saints for the work of the ministry.

Bro. James
