Paul Nixon, who is our coach for this new ministry plant, is coming up this weekend for a site visit.  It’ll be great to have some good, focused time with Paul and I can’t wait to show him around the city of Haverhill.  He’ll have a chance to worship at Good Shepherd on Sunday as well.  I get to preach, which should be fun…if I ever get this sermon together.  But I pray for a fruitful weekend – for him, for us, and for the city of Haverhill!

For those of you who are the praying types, I invite you to pray also for this weekend as we get a lot of work done.  We were very productive at our visioning retreat last weekend, so I imagine that this weekend will be similarly productive, as well as give us a lot more questions and issues to think and pray through.  So please walk with us in prayer this weekend, and always, leave comments and questions and feedback in the comments below!  We love to hear from you.
