Commissioned!

We were commissioned yesterday at Christchurch St Ives. It was such an encouragement to us to see so many of our family, friends and supporters there to stand along side us and send us off. The song item by Cornerstone North where we have been for the last 3 years was very moving and I couldn't stop the tears from following. We were so thankful to everyone who chipped in to help during the service and for the lunch afterwards. Only 9 sleeps to go!

About to have hands laid on us. It was just going to be the ministers, but Lisa asked for family and friends to be invited to as well
