Mr. Joshua Swartz informed us with the following letter and after communication with our chairman of the Board of Child and Christian Education, Mr. Luke Baskett, that, after much prayerful deliberation, he is unable to accept St. John Lutheran's call to him to serve as principal.

Please take time to read Mr. Swartz's gracious letter to the community at St. John Lutheran.

Please join us as we pray for the Swartz family, for our brothers and sisters in Christ at Grace Lutheran in Huntsville, Alabama, and for St. John Lutheran Church and School as we continue to humbly submit our questions and needs to our Heavenly Father and ask for His wisdom and guidance.
