Anyone that is able and willing to help load the U-Haul at Josh and Ashley’s in the morning, Josh is going to start loading about 9:30. Ashley is picking up pizzas for lunch. The more that is loaded, the less Josh has to do on his birthday Thursday! I know I announced start time at lunch Wednesday and Thursday, but I really want to be done with this! Thank you in advance for all your help!

On Sunday, June 1, 2025, Brother Josh announced to the congregation that he will be moving to Hot Springs, Arkansas to accept a minister's position with the 70 West church of Christ beginning August 1.

We are grateful for the nine and a half years Josh has faithfully served the Lord's Kingdom at Fordland. We pray for God's guidance and richest blessings for Josh, Ashley, Jensen, and Uriah as they begin this new chapter of ministry in Hot Springs.

Josh often said, "Fordland is home." We are confident 70 West will welcome them and they will soon have yet another congregation they can call home.

As Josh prepares for this transition, Fordland will begin the search for a full time minister to take his place. The elders and deacons will all be working together in this process. For those interested, the contact information can be found on our website: fordlandchurchofchrist.org or fordland.church .

Update from Kathy: Brain scan looks good! He’s sleeping now. Staying 2 nights.

Please keep Buddy Eady in your prayers. He’s on his way back to the ER. He is vomiting, running fever, and has a severe headache. They believe it is a tick borne illness and have him on an antibiotic but symptoms persist and haven’t really gotten any better. Please pray they find answers and are able to find a way to get Buddy some relief and he’s able to recover.
