Completing my sixth week at the Hinton Rural Life Center, Hayesville, NC has been an experience that is beyond my best descriptions.  I have been changed, molded and cared for in many ways over the past two years and give thanks to my family, church and friends who help make this all possible.  I wish to thank the Lilly Foundation and their willingness to support young pastors in this way.  Last of all to my friends of the first parish project I say thank you, God bless you and stay in touch.  It is now off to do weddings, baptisms and ministry in general.

God’s Peace,
