I am extremely excited about some new developments that have come about in my life as of late. I am excited to announce that I am joining the staff of South Side Christian Church in a part-time capacity as the "Director of Adult Ministries" at the Southwest Campus. That's a mouthful isn't it? The main question that I get asked is if I am keeping my job State Farm. This is a resounding yes. As this new job is only part time, I will definitely be keeping my State Farm gig for quite some time. Plus, the office would be very sad without me and I just couldn't stand to make them sad.
The next question I get is "what are you doing". Well I am glad you asked. Mainly I will be overseeing our connection group ministries. Connection groups are bible studies that meet in peoples homes throughout the week. If you have never been in a connection group, I highly recommend it. I have been the leader of one for about 5 years now and it is almost always the highlight of my week. My group has stuck with me through all that life has thrown at me. This group has brought meals to us when Julia was born. They supported us in our mission trip to Venezuela. They pray for me and my family when things are awesome and when things are super crappy too. Some of the closest people in my life are in my connection group. You are truly missing out if you don't have something like this in your life.
So I will be in charge of all of our groups at the Southwest Campus while also helping new people find a group to be a part of. For all of you Southside people who may be reading this, come find me if you want to talk about finding a group for you!
With the addition of this exciting opportunity comes a whole new level of craziness for the Clair house! We definitely need to have a whole new level of organization to make sure everything gets done. I foresee regular calendar sycronization summits in our future. We are so excited to meet the challenge head on though.
Actually using my college degree in my job? What a novel concept!
