Back in the saddle again

Figured I would give an update on my life.  After two months of "vacation" in Colorado I am once again back to work in Arizona.  However, I am now serving as a pastor of Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Tucson, Arizona.  I was called here almost immediately after stepping down from the work at East Fork and Canyon Day but did not accept the call until the first of December.
This Sunday, I will be formally installed as one of the pastors of Holy Cross.  It has been a long road, but I'm ready to get back to the work God has given me to do and still encourage you to keep all our workers in God's harvest field secure in his love and peace.

My last post for East Fork and Canyon Day

As many of you have seen, I have resigned from being the pastor of East Fork and Canyon Day Lutheran Churches.  In the span of three weeks, my ministry at EF and CD came to a close and we packed up our parsonage and moved away.  I am currently waiting for calls in Colorado in my hometown of Montrose.  I am not sure where the Lord will guide my family and I in the next few months but I know that God has a plan for me and for the people of East Fork and Canyon Day.  Please keep our fellow believers on the WMAT reservation in your prayers as well as the current staff of East Fork School who continue to share the gospel with over 110 students this year.  To God be praised.

It's been a while since I last updated this blog.  A lot has happened over the past year around East Fork Mission.  Volunteers spent a lot of time this winter replacing roofs on the parsonage and the six unit apartment from shingles to metal.  Hopefully, the roofs will last for many years and will keep costs down in the long run.  We also have been busy this summer preparing for the start of the new school year at EFLS.  This year we have restarted the high school which closed in the spring of 2007.  This year we are adding a freshmen class and will add one more class each year.  Our enrollment this year is at record numbers with everyone of our K-8th grade classrooms at maximum capacity.

I have begun recording our worship services at East Fork Church and have posted the audio on Youtube.  Please click on the link to be taken to our Youtube channel.
