Shepherd's Inn is hosting a big outdoor volunteer day on Saturday, September 7th, from 8 AM to 1 PM. This will be our final outdoor work day of the season in preparation for Fall.
The earth is waking up from its winter slumber - the birds are singing, the temps are gradually warming, the frog pond chorale has begun its daily twilight rehearsals, and we all seem to be getting a little pep in our step. As I swap out our clothes from winter to spring, it feels like I am drawing a line in the sand and daring winter to cross…
Greetings family and friends! We hope you’ve been enjoying a wonderful Christmas. Before we close out the year, we wanted to celebrate God's provision for Shepherd's Inn and look ahead to 2024.
We're hosting a Big Volunteer Day this Saturday, September 23 from 8 AM to 1 PM. We’ll be working outdoors painting, landscaping, and cleaning up preparing for our soft opening in October.
What a day! We had our final work day for March this past Saturday with over 30 volunteers including folks from Mission Driven Research, Summit Crossing Community Church, and Rivertree Church. We were blessed with beautiful weather, and this team along with our framers got a lot done inside and out.
As 2020 comes to an end, we hope you and your family are finding ways to celebrate Christmas in the midst of a challenging year. We pray that you will experience the peace of Christ this season and the joy of his salvation. Before we ring in a new year, we wanted to update you on what’s been going on at the inn.
And just like that, our first of two pilot soul care retreats is in the books! We had a great time of retreat last week with couples who have served in vocational and lay ministry as well as on the local and global mission field. We were blessed to spend five days in a picturesque location to experience and share a rhythm of engagement and disengagement (work and rest).
Jesus lived his life in this rhythm.
It’s been a whirlwind since our last blog. There’s been a lot of transition for Cheryl and me over the past couple of months, but we’re excited to say we are now living on property at Shepherd’s Inn! We’re looking forward to opening the inn in 2021 and providing rest, renewal, and care to those in ministry. In the meantime, let me catch you up on what’s been going on and where we’re headed.
The team at Shepherd’s Inn hopes you and your family are well during these challenging times. We hope that you are finding peace in the God of all peace. We are praying with you for the healing of our nation and our world!
It’s been a while since our last update, and we want to share the latest progress on Shepherd’s Inn with you.
