11 Years at Richview, and fresh+re:fresh

I started at Richview eleven years ago today. It's been quite a ride!

Any church community is a story of broken, imperfect people who still bear God's image and are used by his Spirit. So I've got the stories of brokenness and imperfection, including my own. But I've also got the stories of God blessing us in ways we didn't expect. Church community hurts and challenges and blesses like nothing else, except maybe marriage and family, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I've got a chapter about my journey so far at Richview in fresh+re-fresh which was just released yesterday. I guess I should go back and read what I wrote. You can find out more at the book's site.

Our new Director of Outreach started this past Tuesday as well. Can't wait to work with him as we launch a summer-camp and after-school ministry to kids in our neighborhood.

Congratulations!! When you started I didn't think you would be there this long - but I didn't know then what a great guy you are. Seriously. Please stay for many more.
