Dear Church Family,

What a whirlwind of a week!  We have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our time with you.  Though my family and I are physically tired–we are rejoicing that God has led us to First Baptist Church.  We praise our Awesome God that He revealed His will.  I am humbled and thankful to be your new pastor.

Thank you so much for the love and care you have shown us.  Mere words could never begin to express the love and appreciation that I feel toward First Baptist Church!  You have been so wonderful to my family and me as we transition to the Bells community.  Thank you also for taking time to meet and mingle with us.  Thank you for asking some very thoughtful and pertinent questions (and also for the open-minded reception of my answers).  Thank you for making us feel like we are home.  Our whole family has enjoyed the welcome we have received from you.  We can’t wait to worship with you again, and again, and again.

I desire to be available to you and look forward to hearing from you.  Please note my new contact information:

Please continue to pray for us as we attempt to complete all the details accompanying a move, especially the process of getting boxes unpacked.  On another note, we praise God that a purchase contract has been signed for our house in Etowah.  We truly covet your prayers that the process will move along quickly.  Also, pray for North Etowah Baptist Church as they head into a new chapter in their life.

I believe big things are ahead, folks.  Make sure you are prayed up, read up, and ‘fessed up.  It’s going to be great!

Always Proclaiming Christ Above All!

Bro. Mark Wade
