Sabbatical Report #1

I am very grateful to Country Bible for giving me a sabbatical. Thank you! I do pray that God uses it in my life and the life of our church in ways that are lasting. 

Last week, Micah and Luke were at Lake Lundgren Bible camp while the rest of us were in Breitung, Michigan. We were able to stay at Gary and Tammy Dunseath’s house (they’re in Florida).  It was a great start to the sabbatical and I was able to get a good amount of sabbatical work done.  The family had a wonderful time relaxing and playing.  

We were able to worship with our brothers and sisters at Immanuel Baptist Church in Kingsford on Sunday.  It was good to sit with my family and enjoy being fed God’s Word.  I earnestly prayed for CBC on Sunday as you all gathered to worship.  I trust you were blessed to be together and sing, pray, and listen to God’s Word. 

This week has been a flurry of busyness with family activities and sabbatical work.  This week I am focusing hard on organization.  I hope to finish the office in the basement of the parsonage and get it all set up. 

I have chosen the book of Romans as the Scripture I will work through over the summer – what a glorious book!   

My hope for all of us this summer is that Christ would be our passion and pursuit. I love you all and am praying for you.
