Back in the Pew

After a year and a half of vocational pastoral ministry in a most wonderful place called Delia, I have been planted back in the pew for a season. Although I am uncertain as to how long this season will last, I am rejoicing at the opportunity to sit under the preaching of some godly men. As Lynette, Dawson and I adjust to life in southern Alberta, our love and prayers go out to all those who encouraged us along the way both in Stettler and Delia.

After our first Sunday at Calvary Grace, we were glad to make some contacts with some quality folks that share a common desire to be rooted in the gospel and relevant in telling others about the person and work of Jesus Christ.

We are anticipating a fruitful ministry in and around the Calgary region. As God continues to magnify the riches of his mercy and grace in our lives, we trust that he will give us humble obedience to his will and ways. To God be the glory as we seek to please him in all respects.
