2019 Changes

Leading Worship at Word of Life OutreachSo much has been happening in 2019, and we’re already half way through... and I’m finally doing some updates here. In our personal life, we have been experiencing the joys of renovations throughout the whole winter. We’ve been building a suite for my mom, and it’s done with the exception of some finishing details and the exterior, which still needs siding. It has been difficult for mom with all the commotion and endless mess. We are now on the other side of that, and the place is coming together, and mom says ”it’s the nicest room in the house”.

In my music ministry, I have gone through some changes, as I am no longer leading worship at Bancroft Pentecostal, but have moved to Lake St Peter’s Word of Life Outreach. This wasn't an easy decision, but we really believed God was calling us into a new season in a different house of worship. I dragged my feet for several months, all the while knowing deep down He was calling me somewhere else. Funny how our loyalty to 'something or someone' can prevent us from responding to God. Nancy knew, but respected my choice to stay at BPT until I was 'sure'. :)

Anyway, we have been welcomed into the family at WOL with open arms and love. This small rural church in the middle of nowhere has something happening. We have no idea what God plans for this new season, but there is an excitement, anticipation and expectation that Holy Spirit is moving in that place and we can expect the unexpected. The family at this House of Worship have graciously welcomed the changes that came with me; music style, spontaneity, and most of all, Holy Spirit guidance throughout. The leadership has given me great freedom, and I very much appreciate their trust and flexibility.
