Wichita, Kansas!!!


Some of you who read my blog already know our big news, others don't. It all started almost a year ago. Matt began to have questions about infant baptism. He studied it for months and I joined in as well. In the end we came out on the side of the Baptists. Not good when your a Presbyterian pastor. This meant we would have to find a new job. With LOTS of prayers, calls, emails, web searches and even a few visits we have found a place that we are excited about. Matt has been extended a call to Metro East Baptist church in Wichita Kansas. Feel free to check out the website. We are excited and sad at the same time. We have been so blessed by our friends here in Greenwood. We have so many great friends and we will miss them terribly!!!! But after so much prayer and leading by God we are excited about where He is taking us and what He has in store for our future and His glory. We will be moving sometime in May and will keep everyone updated as the time gets closer. Please pray for us that our house will sell quickly and that everything will go smoothly with our move. Thank you!!!

Awesome-- I think that's such a great direction for y'all.

I've wanted to go to Wichita ever since Rich Mullins sang, "maybe she could come to Wichita" on one of the World as best as I remember it CDs...

Tell Matt I'm so delighted for him. And for all of you!

Man...I just figured out that you were only one state away and now you're moving! :-)

We're excited for you guys. Welcome to the Baptist family as I joined it about 10 years ago. In fact, we've been called to another church and start June 1st! We feel like we're going back home because Ernie was on staff there as youth pastor for 5 years, but this will be as Senior Pastor. It's in the Clay/Trussville area and we're excited!!! We'll be praying for you guys and would love it if you prayed for us...same stuff - sell house in time for school, etc. Thanks!

Love ya!
