Sunday was Jeff's last Sunday at Cornerstone Church. After the second service, there was a potluck in our honor. Several people presented Jeff with gifts. These included a Minnesota Vikings T-shirt from the youth group, one last meal of chicken and
noodles, as well as a framed collage of memorable events during our 3 1/2 years here in Boone. There was also a money tree that people could clip money to the branches
to help us with moving costs. The day ended with the elders laying hands on Jeff and
praying for him and his next ministry.
It was a bittersweet time for us. It was good to see so many people come to wish
us farewell. We reminisced about all the things that have
happened at Cornerstone during our time here. We have made so many good friends in Boone that it is very hard to say goodbye and to move onto the next ministry. I believe that everything that happens in life will change a person.
We will forever be changed for the better because of the people and our ministry
in Boone. We love you friends from Cornerstone Church and thank you for all you have done for us!!

Even though I didn't go to Boone Cornerstone (I go to the one in Ames), It was fun getting to know you as we scrapbooked. May God bless your ministry whereever it may lead. My parents moved around a lot as I grew up and even though it was hard to move, meeting the new congregation, friends, new experiences.... was also a blessing. I had a retirement party for my parents and there were 300 people there from all their different churches and many wrote letters that were unable to come. Just hearing the stories really encouraged me as their daughter to go where God wants you, teach what is true and love all that come in our path. May God find you Faithful!
