Appointed to... The Harbor!

Now we're talking! At annual conference last weekend, the Bishop announced, during the "appointments"... "Mark and Mary Cryderman, Taylor, The Harbor". And 2 things happened. First, a dream popped into reality. That is, what had been dreamed about and prayed about for months and months, actually became real. What once wasn't (The Harbor) now was (He read it out loud - we are appointed to "The Harbor", which means it's now real!) And wow, what a rush! Pretty cool moment.

But the next moment is more cool. Here's the 2nd thing that happened: I felt God, in the moment of the reading of that appointment, say "Okay, I am now here - in a way that I wasn't before. This building is filled with my presence in a way that is unique to the future of The Harbor. I am here, and I'm ready for you to join me, and for others to find me!" Talk about amazing!

So, we can't wait to get started! We will be painting the offices this weekend, and will be ready for groups just after that.

BTW - at annual conference, 6 churches let me know that they are interested in bringing groups to paint and serve. Thanks God!
And also at Annual Conference, a very generous, amazing leader told me that he and his wife will help support The Harbor financially. Thanks God!

While we are still a long way from seeing the edge of financial solvency, we are reminded that God is behind this and that God will provide for this, and for us!

Praise God!
