Life on Rural Street

i'm glad it's friday. not for any particular reason, i'm just ready for a weekend. although weekends will be busy this summer. for the past 6 years john and i have been a part of community worship (cw) at mpc. but we are in the process of transitioning to the open door where john has accepted a position as the director of worship through art (or worship & art - i need to remember the exact title even though titles reallly aren't important) we love the people at cw but for the past few months have been feeling a calling to move somewhere else. and there is a lot more that goes into that - but that's the short of it.

we're pretty excited about this. one big reason is because the open door is much closer to our home in the east liberty/highland park area of pittsburgh. i am really excited to contribute to a be a part of a community in our neighborhood.

the transition is tough though. there are people at cw that we are close to. we have no desire to leave these people "high & dry" so to speak. for that reason we are at both cw AND the open door through the end of august. which means on saturday nights we worship at cw on sunday nights we worship at the open door. i think this could get tiring - but thankfully john is doing most of the legwork and administration for cw for me this summer. by doing both cw and the open door he has a fulltime job plus some. which is good since he has no classes this summer. i think we'll need a vacation by the time august 29th rolls around! but i'm still very excited.

my brother got married recently to a great girl named priscilla - so here's a "shout out" (so to speak) to them. Congrats to the young couple!!
