Ministry of Merging

I want to ask a special prayer for our church (Cross of Calvary) as we are attempting to join ministries with another church in our area. We have been having joint services and activities together recently and things have gone incredibly well. The churches had split about 10 years ago, but people on both ends are reconciling because of Christ. He is the only one who can bring about true unity, not even duct taping people together can do that (now there's an idea!) I've never been a part of something like this and can just be amazed at what God is doing. People are laying aside personal preferences and opinions for the sake of a greater cause. This is a powerful sign to the community who has only been exposed to churches splitting... but a merge!? This is unchartered waters for all of us so we appreciate your prayers!

Bethany is adjusting to the late shift at the hospital and I'm still squinting at the light at the end of the tunnel, six more weeks of classes! We are meeting with a church in about a week about a ministry position and will update you on that in a couple of weeks. I hope you all are doing well and we hope to see some of you in the near future.
