Today was a great day all around at First Wesleyan of Shippensburg! I taught on the topic of “words” this morning with a realization that we are people of “words” and need to be people of The Word – God’s Word. His Word is perfect, our guide, and alive!

I showed a clip from the NPR/Radiolab video, “Words” and also finished the sermon by reading Rob Lacey’s 2-Minute Bible from the Word on the Street paraphrase.

We had guests from Kittany (PA), Newark (DE), and Hagerstown (MD) today at First Wesleyan!

This evening 40+ of us gathered back at the church for a fellowship dinner. We had a wonderful time building relationships with each other! I am so grateful to be a part of a church family that enjoys getting together “just because”! It was refreshing to gather together tonight just for the sake of building relationships with each other!

I uploaded a bunch of photos from tonight’s gathering on Facebook.

I read in the paper just last week about an event at the Shippensburg airport called Slugfest. Apparently this is the second-year paragliders have converged in Ship for this event.

This morning on my way to the office I pulled over and took a few photos of the early-flyers and then this afternoon I took Ella with me back to the airport for some more flight-enjoyment! This event will definitely go on my calendar for next year, too!

I’ve been working some late-nights over the last few days on our new church website. I am thankful for help from one of my tech-friendly and knowledgeable church guys, Tom, who has put the same – if not more – hours into making it happen!


The site is built on the Joomla CMS (content management system). I am very proud of what we’ve come up with and where the site is headed in the future days and weeks.

I am overwhelmed tonight realizing how blessed I am! I am so thankful for my family, my church, and my home! Thank you, Lord!

Our new home…

7.1.2010 — 1 Comment

Well it’s almost official, but we’re jumping protocol and going LIVE with the details of our new home in Shippensburg, PA!

(for those of you who are wary of sharing your address on the web, might I remind you of the fact that your local White Pages phone directory is public and online, too | also, pastors waive some of the anonymity rights by usually having contact info plastered on the backs of bulletins at the churches we serve in!)

Isn't she beautiful?! What a blessing!

Our new address:
316 317 Shepherd Lane
Shippensburg, PA 17257

(when I read that address for the first time, I laughed out loud!)

Also, my new phone number – 717-496-0330

So.. update your contact info on the Sheets!

Our transition plans are still as follows.
Last Sunday at Armbrust – July 11th
We’re beginning to load our moving truck on that Saturday (10th) thru Monday (12th).
We’re planning on hitting the road on Tuesday the 13th with a move-in sometime in the afternoon there in Shippensburg!

Please be praying for us (my back!) and those who have already offered (and those who are still planning to offer!) to help us in this move!

We’re overwhelmed, excited, and all-kinds of other-emotions about this transition and new Season of ministry! We covet the prayers of our family and friends (and strangers!) as we seek Him first.
