Dinner with the Klobnaks, Baptism, and Phone Calls from Costa Rica

We had a great dinner with Wes and Lisa Klobnak tonight at The Olive Garden--you never can go wrong with The Olive Garden. Their story is like so many of those you can find at Christian Life Assembly. They came hurt and wounded and found healing. It's been a joy to be part a church that has genuinely loved people and created a safe place to belong to God's family. Thank you for being a life giving church.

This Sunday is going to be exciting. We're baptizing 12 people! If you want to be baptized there is still time, you can e-mail us at pastortj@lifenow.org to set up a time to get your video completed.

Several friends from around the country have called to congratulate us on the move to Bethel Temple, while at the same time expressing sadness for our leaving CLA. We got a call from Tony Andrews--who pastors at Norwood, Iowa. We also got a call from Bryand and Jaci Acuna in Costa Rica, as well as Pastor Bill and Linda Hartman in Arlington, Washington. Bill and Linda served at Glad Tidings right here on the south side of DSM for the past several years and did a great job. God must be up to something new in our part of the city. It will be exciting to see what he does!
