Sunday, we drove to Fremont for Pastor Case's installation service in his new church. It was great to see Pastor Case and Karen again and be able to be part of that service. The service was a bittersweet one. We have a sense of what it must have been like for them to leave Ripon, but also a sense of what they're feeling in following God's call to a new place and job. It's hard to leave, but there is a peace in not doubting that the move was a right one.
It was also great because we were able to see several other Riponites there as well. It was so fun to catch up on Ripon news and just to be with old friends! We had a great visit!
Sorry I don't have any pictures for this one. I forgot my camera! (I'll post some if I can get them.)
Now you're caught up on our news, Rex!! :)

We'll miss Case and Karen. Glad to hear they have peace about following this new call.
Dave just figured out that with Case and Pastor Kok's departure, he holds the second longest tenure in the area, after Bruce. In an place known for ministerial longevity this is crazy, huh?
Yes! Thanks much!
I noticed the double exclamation point!!
We miss you guys so much.
Savor and enjoy each moment with Anna Grace, pretty soon she'll be 13 like Robyn (i feel old).
Keep GOD to be center of your family.
