On the yellow brick road!

Dear Family and Friends,
Well it has come to pass, I have been called, I have been examined and next is to be ordained. I have been called to serve a 119-member church in Topeka, KS, Oakland Presbyterian Church. I will serve part time and continue to work part time as a Registered Nurse. Oakland is a great church that is use to being served by a bi-vocational pastor; their previous pastor for thirteen years was bi-vocational. I am very excited they are a small church with a BIG Spirit, very family oriented. I will start May 11th, Mothers Day and Pentecost. An ordination date has yet to be determined.
I am currently in New Mexico going through storage units getting ready to make the move. After a week here I will fly to California to pick up things there, swing through New Mexico and end up in Kansas by the 9th of May. Please keep me in your prayers traveling mercies. My primary reason for this note is to inform you of my new address and phone number. I also recently up dated my email address. See all referenced below.
I would love to hear form each of you and would reply personally.
Yours in Christ,
Robert (Pastor Bob)
