Thank You

I suppose most people are writing about what they are thankful for at this time of year, but I wanted to add a special word of thanks for my faith family. This has been an interesting year for Katie and me. We are currently getting ready for the birth of our first child which we are so excited for. We have both been so blessed by our church family which has cared so much for us. Back in July we bought our first home. Our realtor (a member of the church) was extremely helpful in the process of buying our home (from someone in the church). Then we had several people from the church help us move on the hottest day of the year. I promptly left for 2 weeks of work camps with our youth. Katie was supposed to join me for the second week but wasn't feeling well. Our church family was so helpful. Several people took special care of her that week. It was such a blessing to be a part of a family that took that kind of care of us. Thank you.

This year has been such a blessing to be a part of Mechanic Grove C.O.B. It is a place that has helped me grow in the relationship with Christ even as I serve as the youth pastor. The Believer's Bible study, Men's Bible study and our Youth Bible Study have been important opportunities of growth for me. I am thankful for our church leadership which has also been an encouragement for me growing.

There are so many things for me to be thankful for when it comes to Mechanic Grove. Thank you to those that are a part of this community of faith. Thank you for the part you are playing in our lives. You are a blessing!
