FROM PASTOR TYLER
As we head out on the road to Idaho for this next opportunity, I reflect on our time with Grace Church in Lemoyne. When Rev. Schwartzman first proposed the idea of me covering Grace while he was on Renewal Leave, I was excited but anxious. I was dealing with the feelings of being burnt out and down from a previous experience and didn't want to put myself into that again. But, as Grace Church does so well, Kathryn and I were welcomed with arms wide open and embraced as members of the church from the time we first visited Grace. We look back on our time, though it was short, with Grace with love and comfort. Thank you, Grace Church, for loving us so well and providing us with the right place for us in this time of transition. You all will remain in our hearts and prayers as we move into this next season of ministry in Idaho. The camp we will be living at is called Twinlow Camp & Retreat Center and if you are ever looking to pay a visit to the Northern Panhandle area of Idaho, please let me know! We would love to provide a space for you to come and experience the area. – Pastor Tyler
