Help Us Congratulate Clayton Small

Dear HPUMC Youth and Families -

I know many of you over the last few years have been incredibly blessed by our fabulous part-time staff Clayton Small.  Clayton has truly been a gift to our ministry.

Sadly, for us, Clayton will be graduating from Dallas Baptist University this December and has taken a full time job in Kansas City to be a Jr. High youth minister.  This is a great opportunity for Clayton - and his new wife-to-be in the coming year!  And while we wish him all the luck, love and blessings - we can't help but be incredibly sad to lose one of the greatest ministers ever to be a part of this ministry.  Clayton came here as a freshman in college - wide eyed and green as they come!  Almost 4 years later, he will leave a young man - one of the best I have ever know.

This week is Clayton's last week.  He will be preaching this Wednesday at WOW and this Sunday at THRIVE - and would love the opportunity to say good-bye to all of you who can make it.  I know he would also be blessed by your words of love, gratitude and encouragement.  His email is smallc@hpumc.org.

Clayton, thank you - You have been an incredible gift and blessing to this ministry and especially to this staff.  We love you.  Wish you the best of luck.....and hope you know you always have a home here with us.

God bless you forever and always.
