Jaime & I would like to say thanks to our church family for a wonderful baby shower. We were overwhelmed by your kindness & generosity, and we are humbled by your outpouring of gifts. Many of you know that we left a wonderful congregation behind in Dallas two years ago that we still love very much. (and who gave us a baby shower back in September!) We also left my family, most of which live in the Dallas area. We had been at Preston Road for a combined total of 15 years, so it really felt like home to us. To be embraced so fully by our new church family here in Fairfax is nothing short of a blessing from God. We love you, and feel very blessed to be working in the kingdom alongside all of you. You make this journey so enjoyable.
Thank you to all the hostesses, especially Nancy McKelvey, who hosted our shower after having cooked for 100 people at Camp Wamava all weekend, and who then turned around and fed 25 people at her small group on Sunday evening. A real 2nd miler!
(and yes, that's Marge Eyler at the top left picture...Marge doesn't get out for every church shower, and it meant so much to have her at ours! We love you Marge!)
