This is a weird week:
#1 - Vince Antonucci's LAST day at Forefront was Sunday.
#2 - This upcoming Sunday will be my LAST official Sunday at Forefront.
#3 - This upcoming Sunday will be my LAST Sunday preaching and hanging with the people of PIN Ministry (http://www.pinministry.org/)
Each is a bittersweet LAST. I Love Vince. I Love the peeps at Forefront (they are and have been my family since 1997!). I Love the peeps that I work with at PIN Ministry and the people we serve (they may be homeless but most have BIG Hearts and lots of Love to share!).
I will miss them all very, very much and I am tearing up even as I type this.
but.....,
God has something brewing in the Lehigh Valley, and it ain't just beer! I was just telling Mike our worship leader on Sunday, that I have a good feeling about what lies ahead. There is a sense uncertainty and anxiety, but also excitement and joy in knowing that we are going where we are called to go! My prayer is for humility and humbleness to go before our staff and that our expectations are His expectations; and our wants/needs are His wants/needs; and that our Love for His People is reflected and revealed through our service to Him.
There are at least 2 other plants launching in this upcoming year in the Valley around the same time we are. This leads me to believe that there is something afoot up there; and I for one am totally stoked to be on the leading edge of that happening!
Into the Future - Remembering the Past - In the here and now! LEGACY!

We still think about you guys and watch to see what God is doing. Things in Pearlington are going slowly but are moving forward. We faced some adversity at the end of last year but God is faithful and seen us through. We'll stay in touch.
