To Our Church Family:

Beth and I would both like to extend a heartfelt thank you for your warm reception of our calling today. Part of the reason we both felt very strongly on sharing with you today as that we strongly and dearly think of you as our church family, no matter what the future of the Journey may be, we know you will continue to support us along the way. That is one thing we will always love and appreciate about all of you.
A word of encouragement about the vote next week. Beth and I have gone through a church closing once before. In many ways it was painful and challenging, but at the same time it was an opportunity for Beth and I to grow as a couple and spiritually. Many of you at the meeting expressed a desire to stay a family. But in the same way that we grow up and move from our parents homes, spiritually there are times when we must leave our church homes. This does not in any way stop us from being a family. We will always be family, and even though we won't share a house anymore, we still have the same Father, and that's what is important. Thank you again for all your prayers and support.
Love,
Jon and Beth
