Better late than never...

Well, we had our first Sunday at The Oaks and the installation process. It was actually great. We had all three of our kids with us - which was a huge blessing. It was important to us to have all of us there because this really is a family thing.
The kids were a bit nervous about going up on stage - and quite honestly so was I - but we all did great.
Vic welcomed us up, introduced all of us...messed up on Kirstie's name, due to my trying to tell him while on stage and I was whispering so no one would hear me, but it was funny! Then he prayed for us...and it was so beautiful. He understands the importance of family and how it can effect your ministry in good and bad ways.
I think we are off to a great start at this church. They were very warm and inviting and welcomed us with open arms and hugs. Over all a great experience!
Kirstie was also invited to join the high school group to their winter camp, and she accepted the invite. This was a huge step for her, because this transition time has been very difficult on her. It is so hard to leave friends at one place/church and move on to a new one. Kyle is also having a challenging time, but I am sure that in a month or so, they will make great new connections here and be happy again.
The Youth Pastor, Blain, and his wife, Katie, are just amazing. They have a little daughter who is about 2, I think, and they just have a heart for the youth and growing them closer to God and Christ!
Well, that is about it on the new church front.

This week we are going to get our Christmas Tree and put up our Christmas decorations. We are very excited, this is our first Christmas in our new house.
Have a great day!
Blessings!!!
