CARIBOU COFFEE

One morning last week, I was in the drive-thru at Caribou when I noticed some familiar looking people inside of the store. It was Pastor Bob and Jarad (the senior pastor and youth pastor at our church). As I looked more intently, I could see that it was the entire pastoral staff from First B. There were about six or seven of them and I immediately had warm, fuzzy and happy feelings as I watched them interact with each other. I wanted to run in and give them all a big hug and thank them for what they do. (Just so you know, I didn't.) Allen and I feel so blessed to be a part of a church with such great leaders. They each have special gifts and passions. They each have different strengths and weaknesses. But I have no doubt that each of them is committed to the call that God has given them. My family has been touched in one way or another by their efforts. As we add to our family, I am SO thankful for the staff at FBC. I know that they will love and accept each of them no matter what. I know that they will walk alongside each of our kids to help them know and love Jesus. These people are a HUGE part of our support system and I am so grateful that they are a part of our lives.
