Monday Morning Letter

Dear Wheatland Mission,

Calana and I want to express our gratitude to you all for the special house warming time this past Saturday night. The food was wonderful and the gifts were great. We really appreciate all that you have done for us. It is an honor to serve with each of you. In case you were wondering our new address 12306 Lincoln Ct. (Yes, this is the right address. I checked with Calana.) We will be painting and prepping the house to move in this week. Come and say hello!

I again want to express a big congratulations to Jeff and Andrea Bullok on the birth of Lauren Grace this past Monday. Welcome, Lauren!

Last Monday was a wonderful night of prayer and I want to thank all of you participated through praying on site or from you homes. I want to share again three things that we took away from our prayer time.

First, we decided that we needed to gather for specific times of prayer more often. We sought God's guidance, repented of sin, and thanked God for his provision. It was special. Keep an eye out for notice of another prayer experience like that in the near future.

Second, it seems right, for now, to go with the Foundry to their new location at our regular time of 5:30 Saturdays. This is in part because of the fact that the Foundry's moving date has been moved up significantly and in part because of our third point.

Third, I think we need more prayer about whether to change our current weekly gathering time. There are many good reasons to stay with Saturday and many reasons to move to a Sunday morning. I want us to take more time together to discuss the options and pray about this issue together. Many of you have shared your thoughts with me and I would love for all of you to let me know how you feel about the issue. I also encourage us to talk with one another about it and help one another understand your preferences. While not the most important issue we will face together as a community it is, nonetheless, important. Let's continue to commit this to prayer and see where God leads.

One last thing, today my kids started school. I know most of our young people have already been in school for a week or even more. Let's take time today, and every day, to pray for their development in school this year. We all have a sacred responsibilty to contribute to their journeys of faith so let's lift them up.

The Wheatland Mission is a wonderful church and a wonderful family. Our family is grateful to be a part of it. Thanks for being a part of it too.

Peace to you,

Paul
