FIVE YEARS LATER!
We have been Married 5 years tomorrow. Been in the teen ministry almost that long. It has been our pleasure to serve, and our sadness to leave. But we have had some really great times! Vara has been the youngest of about 30 since she was born, and the teens are all her "family".
What a wonderful ride it has been. It has been our pleasure, privilege and honor to serve in the Teen Ministry. Seeing most of you last evening, it became so clear that all the work, time and effort from all the families and our family really has built a strong foundation. We are so excited to continue to be involved as "spectators". But assure you we hope to be involved as much as you will let us!Please know we have grown so much knowing you all and working with the teens. Truly a wealth of knowledge and spirituality, the kids benefited us more than we can ever express. Teens, you will not always be teens, but you will always be our teens. We love you.Parents, thank you for loving us and trusting us with your kids. We hope we can grow closer to you all as we enter the realm of ADULTS and continue on that special journey.Teen workers and Corrie and Stef. Thank you for your patience, unconditional love and respect. We enjoyed the chance to build a life with you all in it.Our first 5 years of marriage will forever be marked by you in it, and our experiences in the teen ministry. For that we are truly grateful. Thank you so much for all you gave us, prayed for us, and loved us. We hope to continue to honor it with our service and faith. Love Todd, Emily, Sweet Vara James.... and of course NALA Hopkins.
