Dear First Baptist Martinsburg Church Family,
I wanted to inform you of a recent development in our household that has affected my ability to continue serving at the church. In April, Megan was notified that her current work project would be ending and that her employer wished to transition her into leading a new opportunity. At the time, details were limited, but we were told more information would follow.
This past Thursday, Megan was officially informed that she is being promoted to a managerial position, which comes with a salary increase and new responsibilities. It is an exciting opportunity, and we are very excited, as Megan has worked hard, and the Lord has used her job to provide for our family in a season in which I have been able to get work completed on my master's degree. Her new role is God's blessing for her faithful work. However, the role requires her to work onsite at an office located in Dallas, Texas. She is to begin training onsite in Texas on May 12.
Given this change and the necessary relocation, I must step down from my role as Children's Minister at this time. Because of the abrupt change for our family, today must sadly be my last day. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside you and the team. It has been a meaningful experience, and I’ve learned so much in a short time.
I trust and pray that God will quickly guide the right person to step into the role. My family and I covenant to pray for First Baptist Martinsburg as God leads you to the right person to lead the wonderful children and fantastic volunteers that make up the children's ministry.
Thank you again for your support and understanding.
Sincerely,
Sean Bethel
