Officium novum

June 26, 2007 · 8 comments

After lots of searching, interviewing, breath-holding, and praying, I am proud to announce that earlier tonight I accepted a job as the Director of Youth and Family Ministries at St. Mark Lutheran Church in West Des Moines, Iowa!

The church is less than a mile from my house, which is a pretty good deal. Actually, the whole thing is a good deal. The people with whom I interviewed are excited for this new opportunity and I am very excited myself. I start the second week of July.

Thank you to all who were actively involved in praying for me the last few months. I can't express how much it means to me.

W00t.

    Jake! Congratulations! What a great find in a great town! We have been in St. Mark's many, many times taking Josh to KinderMusik. I like the feeling of the church especially in the children's education wing and youth group rooms. There seems to be a heart there to share Christ and the Gospel with their kids … and to make it meaningful, personal, and applicable in daily life. I hope things go well! SO! Now YOU can treat me to QDoba! (HA!) And no, I am not serious about that proposal either!
