New Appointment!

My heart is full and in two places! It was in early February announced at both congregations that as of July 1, 2015 I will be the senior pastor of Ridge UMC in Munster, Indiana. 

My family and I are saddened to say goodbyes, but thrilled with the new opportunities that await us. God is good!

Since the announcement life and ministry have been a whirlwind of preparations (good-byeing as well hellos)!  We took four weeks to prepare our Avon home for sale.  Now it is on the market.  Looking for a lovely home?  Great neighborhood and schools?  Amazing backyard!  

We've look at houses in Munster three times and have made an offer on one.  Now we wait.  I must say that I do not like waiting!  

As much as I am thrilled, excited, and totally ready for our new home & church community; every Monday I stop a cry about saying goodbye to our congregation, our staff, our community our friends/neighbors etc.  We have been so invested here and for so long.. this is really an upheaval of good strong roots.  Sigh.  

Transitions, transitions, transitions.
