As a recent graduate of Baptist Seminary of Kentucky, I had hoped to continue my work with Central Baptist Church long into the future, but circumstances have changed. I am sending this letter to formalize my decision.
This letter serves as my letter of resignation as Minister for children at Central with my last Sunday to be July 29, 2018.
As previously arranged, I will be out of town participating in training events for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd on Sunday, July 15, and will be preaching at Eminence Baptist Church on July 22. On July 29, I will finalize the Summer Sundays and conduct the scheduled children’s ministry team meeting in the conference room during the Sunday school time (9:45-10:30) as plans need to be made for the fall regardless of my presence with the children.
I continue to discern how God might best use my abilities and leadership training. At this time, several avenues have opened and I covet the prayers of friends at Central as my family and I move forward.
I strive to extend “mutual reverence” to others, as author Lonni Collins Pratt describes it. This mutual reverence extends to all people and derives from a conviction that all people are made by God, in the image of God. I appreciate the opportunity I have had to learn more about inclusion and hospitality of others from my time at Central.
Grace and Peace,
Sara Herrington Jones
