Big news about us here. And this went out to staff and students yesterday and today:
Dear Covenant Seminary community:
On behalf of the entire Seminary family, we want to congratulate Dr. Sean Lucas, who was elected senior minister at First Presbyterian Church, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, this past Sunday. While it is sad for us to lose the Lucases, we rejoice that one of our pastor-scholars is returning to pastoral ministry in a congregational context. We are grateful for Sean’s service over the past five years as a teacher, scholar, and administrator and for the knowledge that our association with him will continue even after he transitions south.
As we look toward the Lucases’ move in June, Sean and I will be working closely on a transition plan. As the spring continues, I will be letting the community know what those steps are, who will be taking on Sean’s responsibilities, and what our plans are for his permanent replacement. Until then, please pray for Sean, Sara, and their children, for FPC, Hattiesburg, and for the Seminary as we all experience the joy and challenge of transition in the days ahead.
Blessings,
Bryan Chapell
Needless to say, we are very, very excited and eager to see what God is going to do for his glory at FPC, Hattiesburg, MS, in the days to come.

David had heard on the grapevine that you might headed for Mississippi, that's very exciting for you all I'm sure!
Yes, we'll be on the opposite end of the state from y'all, but still in the sovereignty! Hope to see you all soon; are you going to GA?
Congrats Sean! Very exciting. Praying for your transition.
Congratulations!
Congratulations Dr. Lucas. I pray moving south of the Mason-Dixon line after five years in the netherlands of Missouri proves to be a blessing to you as well as the people of Hattiesburg.
Sean,
Welcome back to the South! I know you can't wait to plant your garden. I have had my garden planted for two weeks. You will enjoy Hattiesburg. Knox Baird was a class mate of mine and the Princple of the Presbyterian High school Chip Jones was in my wedding and is a great friend. Have a great week and see you at GA.

Congrats on the promotion! :)
Yes, we'll be at GA with the boys in tow! What about y'all?
Yes, we'll be at GA as well, although we're staying with Sara's sister in Winter Haven to save money for the Seminary. Since there are no kids activities this year (beyond Disney) I'm not sure how much the fam will be in tow and I don't know if I'll be staying for the evening worship services. It's going to be a weird GA. Hope to see you and David there...sml
dr. lucas, you will be missed.
best wishes in mississippi.
