College Life End of Year Party

It was a joyful time to celebrate with many of the students, remembering the good times and good things of this past year. And thanking God for all that He has done in each of us and in the community. It was sad, and yet exciting to pray for the several seniors who are graduating and heading in different directions. Our hope is that their time spent with us at New Church and with College Life has prepared them in some small way to live as intentional followers of Jesus the rest of their lives, and use the gifts they've been given in the churches where they find themselves over the coming years, whether that be here or elsewhere.

It's been a joy to be a part of their lives for this short time, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the Lord does in their lives as they move on from here.

Here's a couple pictures from the celebration time at our (Audrey and I's) apt. a little over two weeks ago. Enjoy!

End of Year Craziness

For two weeks now I've meant to sit down and write something about all that's been going on, but there's been so much that I haven't had a chance. Some things that have been happening that I'm hoping to write more about:

Ordination Ceremony 4/27
Housewarming 4/26
Last Spiritual Leadership Seminar 4/30
Last Bible study 4/29
Audrey's new job and our adjustment to that...
Last College Life Leadership gathering- 4/20
Graduation Sunday and the Dwight Way Partnership- 5/4
Jesus in Berkeley 2008
Trip to San Diego- 5/1-5/4

Yea, I think that'll keep me busy for a while. So yea, just to say I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but lots has been happening.
