I've been waiting a long time to tell you all something very important... we are moving to Chicago, Illinois. It is with much prayer that Scott has accepted a new position as the Jr. High Pastor at Wheaton Bible Church. We started considering this opportunity many months ago and feel this is where God wants us. We are sad beyond words to leave our precious friends who have become family to us over the last several years, but we are looking forward to begin serving at our new church.
Scott will be announcing his resignation on Sunday then taking off for a 30 hour drive.Here's his new office.
The main sanctuary.
The kids area. (Can't you see Junie having fun there?!)
The youth area! (so exciting)
Amelia's Sunday school classroom.
Please pray for us and all the details of moving cross country. The kids and I will still be here a few more weeks so we don't need to say goodbye for a little while. Sorry for telling some of you in the blog but I really can't talk about this without crying... love you all!!Katie

Congratulations! May God bless this new beginning for all of you. The Lord has a way of showing us His amazing Will, even if it wasn't exactly what we had planned. It's too bad you guys are so quite...it's going to take forever for you to meet people! WHATEVER! I will miss seeing you at the Wallace birthday parties! I look forward to seeing all the blog updates from Chicago!
Much Prayer and Love,
Astraea

NOOOOOO! I know this is good for you and the family, but I just moved closer and we never really got to hang out. I am going to miss seeing all of you around church. You guys brought so much of the "life" to Lifequest. I wish you the best and will continue to stalk you in the blog world.
All our love and prayer,
