OK Friends...this was only 6 months ago. God continues to work in our lives in oh, so many ways. And, certainly, the only constant is change.
Any prayers you might raise for my candidating weekend will be felt and appreciated. I'll be at Elk Grove Community Church -- just about 20 minutes south of Cheryl's and hope to start there on Dec. 1.
I'll let you know how things turn out shortly afterward. Blessings to you all!

wow, really great to see the photo. Thanks for posting!
If you are called (and it looks like you are) and you begin on the 1st then... when are you ordained?

Good luck, James! I'll be thinking of you Sunday (and in the wee hours Saturday night, just in case the sermon is still in process). Much love and good wishes from Switzerland...
Can't believe it's been six months already!

It was great...despite my having a bad cold with lots of congestion and hoarseness. The congregation approved me unanimously and I start Dec.1!
Knowing you were praying for me really helped. So, now I only have a few more things to get through. First is a credentials committee meeting (think CPM/COM) and my Ecclesiastical Council meeting (think ToO here). Ordination...hmmmm...maybe January or February, depending how much I can push the process during the holidays. It will be in Kenwood (CA) in my home church. You're all invited and you'll all see more news here when that get closer.
WOW! 6 months --- say it ain't so! It's just amazing how quickly the time flies, trite but true!
Congratulations and blessings, James & Mary on this new venture! With prayers that the Creditials committee is supportive and willing to work with you and the folks at Elk Grove so that the process goes smoothly, decently and in order! :o)
