January 2012 is a new beginning for me. After serving through 2011 as the Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Yellow Springs, I will assume new responsibilities as the 
Teen Leadership Director of the Miami County YMCA.
I will be responsible for the Teen Programs offered by the Y at the Youth Center and will direct and serve as advisor for teen leadership training through the Y Leaders Club. I am eager to begin this work of maintaining and expanding upon the Teen Programs already in place at the Y and developing new programs that meet the needs of teens and their families in our community.
This change is good news for my family. Kazy and I will both work in the same community, where we make our home in Piqua, Ohio. Here we have found a welcoming community with terrific schools where we all enjoy living, working and playing. I will continue to serve the church as I teach Sunday School and continue to offer Faith on Tap through the Westminster Presbyterian Church where Kazy serves as pastor.
Congrats Joe. Glad you have this opportunity.
Wonderful!! You will be a GREAT addition to the YMCA!! Happy New Year! Ellie
Excellent, Joe! You are loved and missed, dear Brother. Here’s to the Journey!

Sounds exciting, Joe. I’m sure the Yellow Springs’ folks will miss your enthusiasm and creativity.
YS 1P will sure miss you…
I’m sooooo proud for you, Joe! The positive affect you and Kazy (and Paul) have on your community continues to grow exponentially! You are following God’s call. I just wish I lived closer and had a younger teen! Love you!
So you decided to come down south again….best wishes and bless you in your new adventure!!!
