Open Doors

Life has been hectic here with getting one ministry finished up and starting another one. As with all changes, there are mixed emotions. Excited about the future - sad about leaving 'life as we know it.'

God has been good to us and we wanted to update you all on the progress of things here.

We were so thankful to find a church home; as we posted in our last post. We had planned to start keeping updates coming in regular intervals; but life did a major change for us the day after we announced that Falls Baptist Church would be our home base for ministry and for our family membership.

The next day, got a call that a baby was available for adoption if we were still interested. (We had filled out paper work and had been waiting for 18 months). Of course we were still interested!! We met with the social workers that Friday and began placement of our new little one the next Monday. So, our family has grown by one. There have been some adjustments; but overall it has been an extremely smooth transition adding another child to the family. The state of Wisconsin requires us to have her in home for a full 6 months before the final adoption can be done - so we are waiting for November when her last name will be a Spurgeon!!

That same weekend, our church called a new pastor to come and pastor Calvary Baptist Church. Pastor Mark Cline will be coming to Calvary on the last Sunday in June. We are planning a transition service for that morning and that Sunday evening will be our last Sunday here at Calvary.

So, that brings you pretty much up to date on life here and the ministry plans that are happening. We can honestly say, that there is never a dull moment here. We are excited about the future God has for us.

We will keep everyone posted,
