Well we're here, we are finally moved in, at least mostly into our new home. I did take three pictures of the sanctuary to post. More pics will follow as we get each room in order. I am also starting my first week of full time church work today, I started on my sermon and some reading I want to accomplish that is church related.

So while post have been becoming a bit more regular over the last couple of months unfortunately I will be thrown out of wack here for a couple of weeks.
