Catching Up

If you haven't caught up with us in awhile (or maybe even if you have), here's something new for you: Natasha and I are moving to Truro, Nova Scotia. We have been in contact with Immanuel Baptist for several weeks, feeling the obvious hand of God on us for most of that time. The Lord is leading us back into worship ministry, as we wondered if He was doing back when Moe came to town (see post from last March). There are so many unknowns here, but the One we know overcomes all that. Please pray with us for that transition; we are meant to begin on January 2, 2007. These are EXTREMELY exciting times!!

Well congratulations, ya'll! This is BIG news!!! We're so excited for you as you enter into this realm of ministry. God has HUGE Things in store for you! First pastorate is SO exciting! So many ideas; so many new visions; so many ways to be stretched and grow. I just can't wait to hear about it all! May you be blessed Baptists. :-) (Sorry couldn't resist that one).
p.s. My uncle lives in Truro. I like the little town. IT seems a nice place to live.

Thanks for the call and letting us know. We called last night but you guys weren't home.

I think you should email moe and tell him the news. He remembers both of you and would be encouraged by this.

Hey, I've moved to this address.

I was surprised that I haven't heard from you Bankses any time sooner. I thought you would have heard we were approached weeks ago! Believe me, I'm relieved that you only just heard...especially because we weren't committed before Tuesday. :) Thanks, all for the kind words. Follow that up with prayer, and I'm sure we're going to see the Lord do some powerful things!

I was so excited when my dad told me that you guys had accepted the position at my church... we will be blessed by both of you and your talents...I won't be there because I have moved to Alberta, but I will look forward to visits home. Hope your time in Maine is going well, and good luck in all you do.

Erskines... I'm so excited for your move to Truro! In case you didn't notice, that's on the way to Halifax... I will be stopping in to visit sometime on my way home! :) Congrats on your final decision, and may the rest of your time in PI be blessed!
