For a wide variety of reasons, it has been nearly a year since I last posted. The most significant reason was that I have moved from Alaska to St. Louis, Missouri. A change of call, a new church, back in the lower 48. It's been an interesting year of transition and change, and bits of pieces of that process will come out over time.
Additionally, we had an addition to our family last November - a daughter. She is a joy and a delight, and to watch her and her brother interact and begin to build a relationship is amazing.
So, my family and I now find ourselves in the Midwest. A part of the country we never thought we would end up. It is different from Alaska, Virginia or Florida...and yet also similar.
The church context we find ourselves in is a church that has a 50-year history. Over 65% of the congregation is over the age of 65, and the church has recognized that it needs to begin reaching out to the coming generations in order to continue to exist. It's a pretty neat opportunity, and a challenging one. Much of what is to come will chronicle this ministry.
