Officially Installed

On June 26th Nathan was installed as the Associate Pastor of Connecting Ministries at Word of Life Baptist Church. We had never been to an installation service before....so we didn't know what to expect besides what we were told was going to happen. It was a nice service and can be seen here if you're interested. Several people asked how I thought it went, since I didn't have a baseline to start off of it's a hard questions to answer. Apparently it was quite casual for an installation service, but I think that fits us and the position well. Here are some pictures taken by Bob Sullivan who is a professional photographer from our church.

All up front on stage

Oh wait, you thought they all stood nicely like the the whole time?

No, we're not good like that.

Here one of the elder's wives was talking to and welcoming me. 

Nap time for Kaleb?

Now she's talking to the kids....

Who you can tell are paying close attention :-) 

An elder talking to Nathan and giving us gifts, flowers, cards from the congregation and.....

Badminton for the kids, which Damen carried off stage all on his own!

The elders and search committee also prayed for us. :-) 

We walk into this new season trusting God knows what He is doing, as we don't have a clue what we're doing! We pray He will use us for His glory, that His name may be magnified!
