Pacificministries Worship at the River CHANGE TO Sunday Feb. 22

Dear Friends,

As Carlene and I were preparing the November dinner
for our Worship at the River gathering, we were sensing a change was ahead for
us, but we were not certain how it would look, nor exactly what we should
say.  Last year was prophesied to be a “gateway” season, where many were
entering into new things.  We sensed that was true for us, but did not
have the language to express what we felt. If you have been following our
journey, you are aware of the word the Lord spoke to us about "living with
constant change."
Since the November dinner, we have needed to move most
of our belongings to Port Townsend as Carlene has been given primary
responsibility to care for her mother’s businesses and arrange for
her mothers personal care. 

  • Our December “Worship at the River” needed to be canceled due to the
    snow. 
  • Our January worship needed to be canceled because of our Korea assignment.
    (full report with podcasts
    HERE)
  • In February, all of our children (including Calvin, our grandson) will be in California to bless
    our son Matt before he is deploys February 9 (Destination unknown at
    this time). February Worship at the River CHANGED TO 6PM
    SUNDAY February 22
  • March, we will be in Kenya for nearly 3 weeks.  Our Worship at the River for March is CANCELED
So, the things that we were feeling, but unable to put
into words, are being written on the calendar for us. 
We cherish each of you dearly, and we believe that the
Lord will allow us to gather several times a year to Worship again together and
we will send you those dates as soon as we know them. 


So, here is what we know for today:
  1. Carlene
    and I are officially moving to Port Townsend.  We will keep our condo
    in Gresham
    for the next 6-8 months.
