We had some bad news this week at church.
Our worship and youth minister, Jarod Anderson, announced that he will be leaving our congregation. The Elders and I found out last week.
It's tough news for a lot of us. Frankly, I'm heartbroken. But it also marks a bright new future for our dear brother. Jay-rod is tremendously talented and one of the opportunities he's pursuing would be a remarkable break for him career-wise, a boon for him and his family.
In the end, I love him so dearly that I wouldn't want anything to keep him from these opportunities. He has the giftedness and talent to do much bigger things for the kingdom than what is currently happening here in Kansas City. We'll do our best to support him as he leaves and send him with our blessings.
Things will shake out in the coming weeks, concerning Jay-rod's remaining time with us. We're still confident in our congregation's future and as we know more, we'll share more information.
