Amen. Thank you, Cheryl. Thank you worship team. Man, what an incredible day to be a part of. I just want to say thank you seriously, specifically to the

worship team for stepping in and stepping up into this moment because clearly I am not leading worship because I'm wearing a blazer.

And I'm bringing the word today.

And it's such an honor to do that.

And so Michael and Sarah Beth and the team have stepped up huge.

And Michael's been a part of the team for a long time as well as Sarah Beth and everyone on the stage.

And so I'm so thankful to get to do this with them.

And like I said, I am not normally wearing a blazer and I'm not also normally preaching.

I've gotten to preach a few times in the life of our church.

And I'm so thankful for the opportunity for the elders to give me this moment and to trust me with the Word of God.

Like Cheryl said, my name is Matt Cole, and I'm the worship pastor at Auburn Community Church.

I've been here for just over five and a half years, almost six years at this church.

And so I've gotten to see God do a lot of stuff in our story.

And my wife, Caitlin, and I actually just celebrated five years

of marriage last Saturday. Yes, so excited about that. She is absolutely amazing. She is most

certainly the better half of this relationship. I will admit that forever and ever. People do like

me a little more when I'm in a blazer, but she's still way better.

And so I want to thank her for just always being there, always being a support on the front

row.

And so I also want to say this year has been huge for us because we're having our first

child in a few months.

Yes, yes.
