Last weekend was spent in Jim Thorpe, PA, the namesake but not the birthplace of Jim Thorpe. Yes, it was cold there! We were able to spend Saturday evening with our friends, Jared and Kerry (below), who were just sent there by our denomination in June. Jared and I started seminary on the same day back in 2004, and, Lord willing, we will finish it together this May.
There was a sense of excitement among the people of the congregation, and they warmly welcomed us and were quite interested in us--a great encouragement all the way around. We're excited for Jared and Kerry, since their church is eager to do ministry, but we're even more excited for the church, since we know that they have a quality couple there. Two thumbs up for this weekend!
