Sumpter Plans

Most folks have probably heard by now or have at least heard rumors that we are moving. ‘Tis true. I have accepted a call to serve as pastor at Trinity Reformed Church in Moscow, Idaho, and we will be moving at the beginning of July.

I’m very thankful that Holy Trinity here in Greenville has called Craig Beaton to take my place, and he will be able to take over immediately after I leave town. He’s an old friend of many in the congregation, a gifted man, and we’re grateful to have him stepping in.

So the boxes are beginning to accumulate (again), and plans are beginning to formulate for making the continental trek once more.

I’m grateful to report that our daughter Tovia continues to grow and act like a little new born. She seems to be a fairly mellow and easy-going baby so far, and Jenny is quite pleased that she seems to being going with a deep shade of blue for her eye color. She’s plumping up rather nicely, and it’s almost hard to believe that she is the same sickly, little girl that was born nine weeks premature on Easter Sunday.

Thanks to those of you who have faithfully upheld our family in prayer over the last number of months. Your prayers have been answered bountifully, and in God’s goodness we will be moving home in a few weeks and rolling up our sleeves for the next chapter of this adventure.

Cheers!
