It is never easy to start in a new setting as you settle into new routines and tasks. The habits of the past need adjustments as you learn new things and new ways of doing things but being in a new setting also presents opportunities to bring a new perspective and a different viewpoint. That has been the case for Tamara (our new Office Manager), and for me and my wife Karyn, as we each settle into ministry here at LCPC. We each have been adjusting to new routines, new ways of doing things and bringing a fresh perspective to the ministry here in Lakeside. I know (speaking for myself) that I have felt very welcomed and appreciated and I suspect that both Tamara and Karyn have felt that way too. So many of you have offered words of welcome and your generosity has been evident in many ways. So thank you for welcoming us as the “new kids” on the block and may we continue to abundantly extend that welcome and hospitality as others join our ministry in the future
