By now most of you have heard the news: the Sandersons are leaving Haddonfield after Christmas, moving back to Washington State and closer to Sarah's family. This was a tough decision for us but it has been clear that God has opened a door we need to step through. The hardest part of all of this is saying goodbye to each of you.
I was grateful for those of you who came Sunday night to talk it through with me. Your tears, memories and good wishes deeply touched me. Now, we have two months left of good times, deep conversations and final goodbyes to enjoy.
I was encouraged by this reminder from a friend: "for Christians, "goodbye's" are always just 'see you later's'." Its true - in the long run, our faith tells us, we will rest in the "company of all the saints." Until then, let's make the most of these remaining weeks!
Those of you who plan to do Cropwalk fundraising with me, plan to meet up at 1:30 this sunday in the youth lounge. Unless its pouring rain, we'll get out for some door-to-door fundraising action, and see which team gets to embarrass me for the last time...
see you then.
