One week!

One week away until the vicarage placement service!

And we're excited to see where the Lord sends us for this year long adventure.

I'm praying for our vicarage congregation as well as all congregations that will be receiving a vicar this year. My prayers are also for the vicars and their families - the vicars and families coming back to Fort Wayne and those leaving Fort Wayne. Transitions can be tough at times but I pray that all continue to look to our Heavenly Father for guidance and peace.

Psalm 29:11
The LORD gives strength to his people; 
   the LORD blesses his people with peace.



Toodly doo,
Sarah

Hello, dear friends!

I am aware that many of you {i.e. seminary families} will be moving soon whether it be to vicarage, back to Fort Wayne, or to your call. Here are a couple handy dandy resources I've come across that I thought I'd pass along.  Happy packing! :-)

Vicarage Announcements

Take a peek at these modern vicarage announcements {created to match this blog}. Some of these vicarage  announcements will be sent to our supporting congregations.  The cards are currently blank, but with a little help from picnik.com here are some examples of what these vicarage announcements may look like after May 2nd, 2011:

An Encouragement of Fellowship

Today SWA (student wives association) hosted an informational event for wives of the seminary students. This event had great speakers (professors and placement directors) from the seminary who not only explained the vicarage and call process but also answered the wives' numerous questions. Everything from how the process begins to how it concludes, moving logistics to insurance, furnished vicarage to bringing a pony....

This event was informational and an encouragement from the placement directors to the wives. The meeting was also a wonderful fellowship opportunity for the wives as we prepare for yet another chapter of this seminary adventure.

Blessings,
Sarah
