Off We Go!

As many already know, K8 and I (and Montana) are moving to Washington State. I was extended a call to serve as a church planter in Whatcom County (the most NW county in the state). K8 and I always said that if we could not be in Colorado, we would love to be in western WA (and, Montana will look cute in a yellow rain slicker). For the first year or so, I will be serving the churches in the area (primarily at Bethel CRC in Lynden), networking, plotting, and preparing for a church plant starting next year. At first we’ll be living in Lynden. Once there we will figure out what neighborhood God is calling us to serve, then we’ll move to that community.

I will be moving out, w/ the help of my homeboy Miguel, at the end of Sept., and K8 and Montana will follow soon after. Then on Oct. 9, I will be examined by our denomination’s regional body for ordination. This will be followed by an “Installation Service” where I will become official (“That’s Reverend Walters to you”). I’ll let you know when the service will be when we figure it out. I am excited to be finished with ordination and to start ministry in WA.

It is a little sad to leave CO, especially family and friends. We gotten used to being around family, and have both reconnected with old, dear friends. But, it is exciting to be near our old stomping grounds of WA and BC. So for those in the NW, the party is at our place. And for everyone, stay tuned for more details.
