moving on to new challenges...

To all of our students and friends at Celebration Church of Orange Park,

Dee and I wanted to take a few moments and let you know about some exciting changes that are taking place over the next few weeks. Many of you know that we have already been involved, to some extend, at Celebration’s Middleburg Campus. After several months of prayer and consideration, Dee and I feel that as God continues to move us forward in ministry that the next step for us is to focus our attention and energy primarily at the Middleburg Campus. We will be helping in multiple fashions including but not limited to youth, children’s, small groups, discipleship development, team building, and the list goes on!! So as you can tell we will be busy!

For some of you this may seem sudden, but please understand that for about the last 8 months Dee and I have prayed and processed about our calling in God’s kingdom and what He has for us. We have had numerous talks with the leadership here at Celebration including Pastor Stovall, Pastor David Branker, and Pastor Wayne about this stirring in our hearts. We have all taken the time to seek what would be best for not only God’s house, but also for Dee and myself. We feel a complete and total peace about moving on to the new challenges and opportunities that God has prepared in advance for us! We are extremely excited about this move and will be waiting to see the great things that God is going to do in Middleburg and beyond.

All of this obviously means that we will no longer be directly involved with the youth ministry at the Orange Park Campus. However, let me take this opportunity to say that Dee and I cannot express enough how much we have enjoyed serving and ministering the gospel to you guys over the last 4 years!! WOW! Has it been 4 already?? We have had a great time getting to know and love you all, and that will not cease. You have truly blessed our lives in a way that words just cannot express. So thank you for all that you have meant, and been to us! You are loved!

Our hearts through all of this is that God’s kingdom will be our primary concern, and the people we have served will see this as a positive move for the glory of God! So be looking for us from time to time to drop back in and say hi as we are continuing to help our Lead Pastor’s Stovall and Kerri advance God’s kingdom!

God bless you all,
Todd n Dee
