How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Part 3 - Farewell Sunday & Commissioning Service

Sunday made for a busy day! The whole day was so special... there were lots of tears shed, tons of singing, hugs all around... God's grace and blessings were so evident the whole day. We are so blessed. Our church family, and our families made us feel so special. Thank you to everyone who had such a big part making this weekend special for us. We miss you all greatly!
 
Here are some pictures to enjoy :)
 
 
Starting with singing!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The older Grandsons did offering.
 
 
Phil speaking to our home church... thanking them for their support!
 
 
Lets Sing! I LOVE my family! We've been singing together since we were kids... it's just part of who we are. It's one of the many ways we could serve the Lord as kids. Now, we have the added bonus of our families. God is so good.
 
 
Lots of tears...
 
 
 
And... FOOD! We had a fellowship after church Sunday Morning... lots of people made our favorites! Like, Cream Cheese Corn (by Deann), Cheesy Potatoes (by Kathy), Chinese Salad (by Renee), Yummy Beef (by Andy and Marleen) Chicken & Rice Casserole (by Debbie) and lots more!
 
 
 
And desserts! Life just wouldn't be the same without Granny's Banana Pudding!!!
 
 
 
 
 
Us kids... These people mean the world to me!

Lets sing again!
 
You know, the whole day was amazing. It was hard. It was exhausting. It was... exceptional. But have you ever done something and thought "Its completely possible I won't do this again for a few years, or ever"? That was the hardest thing. Singing with my family... hugging everyone... hearing my daddy pray... laughing with so many people you love. It was such a precious time.
 
This has been a huge step for us. But it is so incredibly encouraging knowing that we have a church family at home that is praying for us. That loves us. That supports us in what God has called us to do!
