Saying good-bye

Last evening was our final service with the New Columbia congregation. Troll preached a good message on keeping our eyes toward the front. Of course he filled it with hilarity and goofiness!! He's such a mess. Afterward we had to stand at the alter while everyone shook our hands. I told a couple people it felt like I was getting married all over again!! Then we went outside for cake and etc.

We sincerely enjoyed our time at New Columbia. The people were so kind to welcome our large family. A big thank-you for every one's kindness. Matt and Vonnie, we appreciate you both and your children so much. It is hard to walk away from you guys but we know that our friendship has only just begun. I couldn't have asked for a better pastoral family. So giving of themselves and their time...never asking for help. We basically had to just tell them we would do this and that!! God bless you and your congregation as you strive to further the kingdom of Heaven. We will miss you all.

And now... to our new posting.....Look out!!! Here come the Tolley's!!!
