It's out! Praise God!!!!

So, on Sunday they read the follwing letter in the church I serve in.

May 16, 2006

To the Rector and Wardens,

It has been an enormous privilege to serve and worship with the people of Christ Church Parish Church. I have gained far more than I have given, and the impact will be a lasting one.

Recently I have been given an opportunity to embark upon a new area of ministry in Red Deer Alberta. The timing seems to have the Lord's finger-prints on it, as my time officially comes to a close in this parish. Knowing I am leaving the parish is difficult, but having a sense of direction is truly helpful.

This afternoon, I received official confirmation of an offer to begin work as of August 1, 2006 as the Assistant Minister for youth and young families in the parish of St Leonards on the Hill, Red Deer, in the Diocese of Calgary. Not all the i's are dotted or t's crossed concerning fine details,but in consultation with my regional and national director with Church Army, I am accepting this as God's open door. This will mean that I will leave the parish at the end of June and take my vacation in July.

Please know that as I prepare to conclude this chapter in my life at Christ Church Parish Church,I do so with a heart of thanksgiving. It will always be 'home' to me, and I hope and plan to return for visits with every opportunity.

Knowing of your prayerful support with this transition will be an enormous help.
Once again, my deepest thanks for the privilege of serving and worshiping with you.
Yours in Christ,

Capt. Bonnie Hunt


Man I have to say that I am glad that is out. That is part of the reason I haven't really been blogging much. I haven't been really able to tell anyone what was happening in that area of my life and that was a HUGE part of the chaos going on in my life.
