We had a nice, relaxing week at the beach, returning yesterday. Tomorrow we leave for England. But today has excitement of its own. Our church has been without a pastor for over a year. In some ways it&#8217;s been a good year. There has been a lot of looking at and assessing needs. It&#8217;s also been a fairly hard year in a lot of ways.

This is much more of a beginning than and ending and there is plenty still needing to be done, perhaps more than ever, but this is a change I&#8217;ve been looking forward to for a good while.
