A New Chapter for the Neale’s!

It’s hard to believe it’s been three and a half years since Rick White and The People’s Church (TPC) invited my family to come to Franklin and lead the worship ministry here.  It has been a wonderful journey.  We have made new friends, seen God do some powerful things, had our third little one, and cultivated songs to rise from our church worship family to touch the world.  I am very thankful for Rick’s belief in my leadership and the culture of creativity that has allowed us all to explore new horizons.

Life is full of seasons and this season is coming to a close.  We are stepping down from our full-time leadership role here but are thankful that relationships will continue.  Our next steps are very exciting.

Here’s the ‘New Chapter’:

  • We are looking forward to being with many of our dearest friends in South Florida starting in October as I serve Christ Fellowship Church in Palm Beach Gardens in a part-time/interim role as Worship Leader.  Most of the time I will be at The Stuart Campus for next few months, but I’ll serve wherever I’m needed.  (Still based in Franklin, TN but looking forward to some beach time!)
  • I will be working with my editor this fall to finalize my first fiction novel The River and I’ll be working on production development for a LIVE Experience in 2011 that will be based on the book. (You’ll hear much more about this in the days ahead)
  • I will be continuing all of my songwriting efforts and composing for the soundtrack of The River Experience LIVE.

So…that’s the news!

We are very thankful for the many blessings in our lives.

I hope our paths cross soon.
