September 22nd-28th PACKING UP AND MOVING INTO STORAGE

This week we spent the entire week, packing up and moving our stuff and our belongings into the church office in our home for storage.  God has been opening doors and putting everyone where they needed to be at the exact moment.   We have all been unwell, Makayla needed two days off of school and Brayden also had two days off of school, but packing up continued on.   When I say that God had everyone right where he wanted them, that is an understatement.  

God has provided a beautiful mum with three children to rent our parsonage while we are away. And, also, God has provided an amazing College student to rent the granny flat attached to our house. Together we believe the bills for the parsonage will be covered while we are away. Chris and I did not know either of these people, but God put our friends in the right places at the right time to hear about them, and therefore we were able to give these people a great place to live.

While Chris is away God has provided a wonderful Pastor Lindsay Cameron to fill the pulpit at our church for the next 6 months. Please remember to pray for Pastor Lindsay as he connects the people of our community to the word of God on a weekly basis.

Also, please continue to pray for Mark and Dawnielle. They will be staying on in Australia while we are away to be the Family Ministry Coordinators. They will carry on our AWANA, and Youth, and Bible Studies.

When it comes time to pack up it is always hard sorting through stuff, and thinking what needs to be accessible and what doesn't to the church!  We were able to move a few shelving units of Church material to the church or to the Mattesons.  And, then we did seem to get all of our personal belongings into the office, and we did seem to get everything tidied and cleaned.   I had an amazing friend Amanda who came over and helped me on the Sunday to finish up the final touches and she also went back, and did my carpets and mopped the hardwood floors, so they would be clean too. Like, I said God just walked us through a great departure.
