News

Well, the three of us have some big news to share!

I wish I could say that it was a family expansion project :), but it is a relocation mission.

This Memorial Day weekend we packed our bags and drove to central Vermont to meet with the board and congregation of First Baptist Church of Barre. We had a pleasant time with everyone there, asking and answering questions of each other and sharing over a meal.

Sunday morning we joined them for worship and Craig preached his candidating sermon on the Great Commission. You know it was a good sermon because Sam went right to sleep. We carried him out still asleep while the members remained to cast their votes.

We had barely reached our car behind the building when we heard a wave of applause. Sam's eyes popped open again. A minute later, a phone call brought us back inside.

An unanimous call. A new home.

Craig gave a quick word of acceptance and then we were launched in this new direction!

Please pray (if you believe He answers) that we can find the right new home, get everything packed up, and unpacked and settled by July 1!! There's a lot to do.
