Moving on.....

Well, it's time to post another update....
Sean and I recently came to the conclusion that our time here in California is coming to an end. We feel very strongly led that we are to plant a church - most likely in Eastern Oregon - in the Bend area. We are currently in process with our church, Coast Hills Community Church, as we move towards this goal. The leadership at Coast Hills is trying to ascertain what their support will be and if we are a good fit together for a church-planting venture. At the soonest, we could move to Bend (or whatever location we are led to) in the early spring. If we go through a training period it could be anywhere from a few months or even a year. We would dearly love your prayers regarding our future!

We are very excited about this new adventure but, of course, we also have some fears since we know little about church planting and the like. We do feel sadness at the thought of leaving so many good friends here in Southern California. We will miss the warm, sunny climate, the beach & surfing, and the progressive-minded culture here in the O.C.

On another topic, I wanted to update on my Aunt's condition with MRSA (from a previous blog). Both she and her husband have been declared MRSA free which is a real praise!!!
