Dear Family and Friends,
Merry Christmas!
As we marvel at the great gift of God in our Savior Jesus Christ, we want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We thank our gracious God for the gift of YOU, the gift of each opportunity to share or be with you (or at least exchange Christmas greetings each year!), and we wish you God’s most awesome and excellent blessings this Christmas season and throughout the New Year.
This past year held lots of changes for our family, not the least of which was our move from Lansing, which had been our home for 20 years, to the Ann Arbor area in southeastern Michigan. (Please note the new address!) Dave is now 15 minutes from the District Office – and he does not miss the 2 ½ hour commute at all! Spring was busy with Joel’s graduation, helping move Leah, Joel, and James from apartments/dorm rooms to new apartments/back home, attending call services at the seminaries in St. Louis and Ft. Wayne, and looking for a house.
