On Sunday, April 16, we announced at the end of worship that Rev. Mike Meyer has accepted the Call to serve as Associate Pastor of Youth and Families at Holy Trinity! We give thanks and praise to God for raising up our new Associate Pastor, and we pray for Pr. Meyer and his family as they work through their transition in the coming weeks. We also keep our brothers and sisters in Christ at The ROCK in our prayers as they begin the Call process for their next pastor.
Pr. Meyer’s last Sunday in Seward is planned for May 21, and he will join us here in Rogers shortly thereafter. We anticipate an installation service in early June, and will announce the specifics once that gets firmed up. To God be the glory in all things!
Here’s Pr. Meyer’s acceptance letter:
Dear Members of Holy Trinity congregation:
Thank you for your patience and your prayers in this Call process. The whole process enables us both as pastor and congregation to seek the will of God to be revealed in our lives. It helps us to carefully and prayerfully examine our part in the body of Christ, as all of us have the privilege of carrying out the mission that Jesus has given to His Church.
This Call has been for me like a game of tug-of-war. One day I’m pulled to stay at The ROCK, and the next pulled to go to Holy Trinity. For weeks, people on both sides have been praying for their “team” to win, and yet, when we look at all this from God’s perspective—both win—because it’s always been His game. Both churches have a part to play and a game plan to execute. Our problem is that we sometimes forget to see things from God’s perspective.
As I looked over your Mission statement graphic, it’s clear to me that your desire is to connect people to the Savior of the world by SPREADING His grace, GROWING in Christ together, and CARING for others. You place a high value on relationships. Both relationships with God, through faith in Christ Jesus…and relationships within the family of faith, as well as, those not yet in a faith relationship. I pray that would remain your heart’s desire this side of heaven!
So…I suppose you’re waiting for the decision to which God has led us. We believe that God has clearly led us to ACCEPT the Call and join you in the mission that He has given Holy Trinity—to SPREAD God’s grace, GROW in Christ, and CARE for others.
Finally, I pray that God will richly bless all of His ministry…at Holy Trinity and at The ROCK…in the days to come. Please continue to pray for us that our transition to NW Arkansas would be smooth. We will look forward to getting to know you and working in God’s ministry with you.
Peace be yours in Jesus,
Michael J. Meyer, Pastor
