A Call to Illinois

Bethel Lutheran Church in Gurnee, Illinois has a extended a call to Ben to be their sole pastor. We are so thankful for the opportunity. We are prayerfully considering the call and expect to decide before the end of June. Being in separate cities complicates the process a little.

Sam's last day of school is tomorrow and today was kindergarten graduation. The graduation presentation was great and I am so proud of Sam. It was fun to watch him show what he's learned alongside his classmates.

We're doing pretty well at home, thanks in large part to the delightful and energetic teenager who has watched the kids for a couple of hours every day this week. The call is both exciting and stressful. One day at a time... One hour at a time... God will give what we need.
