I want to take a moment to thank our pastoral interim team: Pastor Ryan Chapman, Pastor Ed Hyatt and Pastor Ron Crump. Each of you did an outstanding job during the 16 month interim period. It's really amazing how God has used each of you and your unique abilities and strengths to assist our staff, lay leadership and church. The last three weeks have been sad ones as we've seen each of our interims preach their last sermon. We dislike seeing each of you go but at the same time we've looked forward to this day for a long time.
I thought today about each of them and how they each had a profound impact on me in one way or another. Pastor Ryan's devout heart and careful contemplation are great examples of spiritual maturity and an excellent example of having a close walk with the Lord. I will never forget Pastor Ed's love and passion for the church. His honesty and fun-loving heart were constant reminders of how pastors should follow Christ's example and love the church. Pastor Ron's humble heart and pastoral care made a deep impression on me. His willingness to share his legacy will forever be appreciated by a young pastor.
Thank you pastors for the many hours you spent investing in Mooresville and me. I know it will have a long standing impact for the kingdom.
Sincerely,
Pastor Jeremy
