Church

Tonight is one of my last Board Meetings as Pastor of the Havelock Wesleyan Church. Hard to imagine. What I also have a hard time thinking about is that that I have only 5 more messages to preach. There may be a funeral here and there, (I hope not) but the fact remains that my time is coming to a close. I am both sad and excited.
First of all I am saddned because I have spent the last 7 years of my life in Havelock. My kids were born here. I've seen God at work many, many times in this church, and I am going to miss the people. some of my best friends live in this community, and I will not be seeing them as much as I do now. Some of these make me sad.
But I am also excited. I am excited becasue the Lord is going to do something more in the life of Havelock Wesleyan Church and her people.
I beleive that God has done some wonderful things in this little church, and I think my moving on means that He's got more to accomplish here. I'm fine with not being the one to "get r done". Remember: John the Baptist was sent before Chirst, not after. So I am excited for this church and what may happen in the future.
But I am also excited for me, and for my family. Starting in July, I will be the new Pastor of the Maple Ridge Wesleyan Church. I am excited for the challenge, and the ways that the Lord is going to use me and my family in that church. If this church is any indication of the Work the Lord has done in my life, I can't wait to see what He has in store for us in this next Phase of Ministry.
I'd apprecaite your prayers as we finish strong here at Havelock Wesleyan and begin our new Church in July.
