Dear South Shores Family,
I am excited to announce that after 20 years of service, Pastor Ty and the Deacon Board have approved me to take a 3-month sabbatical for the primary purpose of focusing on my doctoral dissertation. This time “away” will begin the day after Easter (April 6) and run through July 5 of this year. The goal of my dissertation is creating “a multifaceted approach to the gospel that will help the church better appreciate and communicate all that God has given us in Jesus Christ.” I hope to have something tangible to share with you in the coming year.
My family and I will stay local as the kids continue school and deeply enjoy our youth and children’s ministries. I would love your prayers during these next three months as I try to make the most of the time, and when I see you on a Sunday, I look forward to greeting you, praying with you, singing alongside you, and if you have any specific ministry requests: smiling, as I hand you over to one of our other pastors! You will be in good hands with our pastors and staff.
Now, let us deeply celebrate the crucified and risen Savior and Lord!
Grace & Peace,
Derick Zeulner
Associate Pastor
