Dear Lighthouse Family,
On behalf of the Lighthouse Leadership Team, I want to inform you that Mr. Kevin McInturff has resigned as Director of Youth Ministries. Kevin has served faithfully in this capacity since the launch of Lighthouse and I know you will want to share with me in thanking him for his hard work, faithful service, and personal sacrifice. The McInturff family is by no means leaving Lighthouse; he and his family will still be involved with our church, just in a different role.
You may know that Kevin is currently dealing with a tremendous burden in his personal life. His father, who lives in Nashville, TN, is battling cancer and his condition is worsening. Kevin needs the freedom to travel more frequently to be with his family, taking away from the time he can devote to leading our youth ministry. This has been a difficult decision for Kevin to make, but one that seeks to honor his commitment to God, family, and church.
The FOCUS Student Ministry will remain strong and dedicated to touching hearts and changing lives for the youth in our area. Mr. Bobby Totten, who has faithfully assisted Kevin since launching FOCUS, will step up to provide capable leadership. This will offer the students consistency in relationship and ministry through this time of transition. Bobby has boundless energy and great ideas that will be a huge asset to Lighthouse and our community. Please join me in thanking God for providing us a gifted individual who will help guide our students and youth ministry into the future!
As we prepare to move forward, please know that all activities and retreats for the fall are on as scheduled. You can check out what our youth have planned by clicking here to review last weekÕs blog post. In the meantime, if you have a child who is a part of our student ministry, please rest assured that they will receive the care and attention they deserve.
Paul writes in Galatians that we fulfill the law of Christ when we help others carry their burdens. As we consider how we are 'Designed To Shine', this is a perfect opportunity for us to take that responsibility seriously. I would like to encourage you to share your thoughts, prayers, and support for the McInturff and Totten families. 'Family First' is one of our important Lighthouse mantras, so let this be a time when we can make it count for those who we love, respect, and honor in their past, present, and future service.
God Bless,
