We look forward to Joe Fitzpatrick joining us on May 3 for his first service as our new Worship and Music Pastor. Spring is an excellent time for Joe to see the year-end music activities for the children's choirs and youth choir. He will also benefit from being a part of all the exciting things that go on around First Baptist in the summer as well as being able to plan the coming church music year.
His wife, Gwenn, and his children, Sean and Melodie, will join him as soon as school is out and they have completed their responsibilities at Park Hill Church. Gwenn is actively involved in Joe's ministry and is a highly respected elementary school music specialist in the North Little Rock area. Sean is an excellent student and fine athlete. Last year as a freshman, he scored the winning goal in the state championship for his high school soccer team. Melodie is an accomplished pianist as well as an excellent student.
We cannot wait for this wonderful family to join us and look forward to Joe being with us soon. If you would like to send a card or note, their address is 47 Kings River Road, North Little Rock, Arkansas 72116. Please continue to pray for them daily in this time of significant transition in their lives.
