Saying our Goodbyes - Part 2: The Church

June 5th was our last Sunday at Crystal Lake Community Church.  It is crazy to think of how fast the last few months have gone!  It was very bittersweet...we are ready to move on to whatever God has for us, but there are a lot of great people we will miss.  I took pictures of everyone that was available that weekend, and then asked for a couple other pictures from friends.  We want to create a memory book like we did when we left Main Street Wesleyan Church in 2009.  These past 7 years has had some pretty cool highs, and some terrible lows, but we know God brought us here for a reason.  We still have no idea where we are going next, but we are trying each day to surrender our own timing and trust God's!

We also had a lot of fun at a carry-in dinner they had for us on the Saturday night before our last day.  Tara put together a slide show of pictures from our time at CLCC, someone set up a baking contest for monkey bread and Stephen had to choose a winner, and it was just nice to spend time talking with everyone!

Let the contest begin...
