CONNECTIONS from your Pastor s Heart Singing a New Song in a New Season He put a new song in my mouth and a song of praise to our God. Many will see and will trust in the Lord. (Psalm 40:3) Our beloved brother, Chip Colee, has sensed the Lord leading him to a new ministry assignment with the Alabama Baptist Children s Home. Our gracious Lord, the orchestrator of life, has called Chip to sing a new song! The Alabama Baptist Children s Home is an extensive ministry focused on helping hurting children and families. The Children s Home is 125 years old and has 118 employees, a $9.5 million budget and last year they ministered to 5,760 people. Chip will use his tremendous vision, energy and administrative skills to serve as the Vice President of Administration. Dr. Colee (his recently earned doctorate is in leadership and administration) is one of the most organized people that I ve ever encountered. He could run with precision a German train station! We know God will use his great gifts to make an enormous earthly and eternal impact through this vital new assignment. We are praying for and cheering for the Colees as they depart, but it will be with a heavy heart because we love Chip, Christy, Christopher and Caroline a great deal and they will be immensely missed. We have been deeply blessed by God s grace gift of providing Chip for 12 years of servant-leadership and discipleship through music at First Baptist. We are confident that God will activate Romans 8:28-32 and work all the pieces of this puzzle for our good and for His glory. The Lord will beautifully provide for the Colees, the Children s Home and His First Baptist Family. Singing His New Song TOGETHER, PS We are tremendously blessed to have Ed Cleveland step into the role of interim Minister of Music. Ed is one of the most winsome and talented people on the planet plus we have an excellent music team and systems so we do not plan to miss a beat! For instance, the Living Christmas Tree is already totally planned! 2017 Budget Input On Sunday, August 14, a representative from the Finance Committee will visit the Adult Bible Fellowship Classes to receive input for the 2017 Church Budget.
