Split

Well, with much sadness and grief, we split with our church today. The things that the leadership were participating in were completely preposterous. We could no longer be in support of them as leaders of the youth group. After two meetings, the result is posted below. Today is very hard, as we have many phone calls to make, both to teens and to our families explaining what happened. But there is also a weight lifted off of our shoulders and we feel finally at peace again. Next step: find a church - and that’s not something that’s easy to do around here! We might end up travelling as far as Bangor to find a suitable place.

To the Elders at Church of the Open Bible:

We are writing this letter to inform you of our intent to step down from leadership and membership. It has become clear that we can no longer support your actions as leaders. This was confirmed in our last two meetings, on January 4th and January 18th. In the last meeting we came to a mutual agreement that because we could no longer support you as leadership it was best for us to resign. We are grieved and we thank you for the opportunity we have had to serve here. We will miss our relationships but we trust that God is sovereign over this situation and we must be obedient to what we believe He has called us to do.

Waiting

Phil is with our elders now. I’m trying to stay busy and keep myself going. I don’t know how long he is going to be. I finished cleaning, now all I can do is wait. Unless something drastically changes, this is probably the end of our ministry here. We know God is in control and is sovereign.
