Yesterday Emrys preached for Nineveh Presbyterian Church in Nineveh, NY. He did a great job and after the worship service the congregation when straight to the congregational meeting where the members had a chance to ask questions of him – including one gal who asked “I’ve been to Colorado. Are you sure you’re ready to leave?” Perceptive folks! But we are ready to settle, the doors did not open for us to return to Colorado, and Nineveh voted to call Emrys as their full time pastor. And we all know what happens when you turn away from Nineveh . . . .
We are very excited about the chance to live in rural New York, close to family in the northeast, far from the frenetic city life and close to open lands, active rivers, woods, lakes, camping, hiking, gardening, crafting, biking, and all the other things we enjoy. We are ready to settle, and settle we will. Now we’re on the road again, taking care of stuff until October 10th. Emrys will start his position (pending the Presbytery inquisition & vote on Saturday) on October 15th.
And there is a house key at the end of the tunnel of travels… ahhhhh.
