Delia in the Main Sanctuary

Reflection: Today was a pretty special day for our family. We took a trip down to St. David's Church in Wayne, PA which will be our new home and new church community beginning in November! I will be serving as an Associate Priest in this amazing congregation which has already made us feel very welcomed. We are very excited and feel very blessed to have this opportunity and have felt the Holy Spirit moving through out this whole time.

Of course, this move comes with mixed emotions for us since we love Bethlehem, Trinity and its people. We also know that this transition will be difficult for Delia who has many wonderful ties to this place. So, today we stated the process of explaining the move to Delia and took her on a tour of our new home which in in a beautiful rectory on the historic church grounds. We were also able to pick out some new paint colors with the help of an incredibly nice parishioner named Beth who is also a gifted interior designer and architect. Delia handled it very well and I think that she is starting to understand the concept of moving.

We are excited to be with you all soon, St. David's, and are treasuring the time we have left with you, our dear friends and family here in Bethlehem.

Delia found some books in the Church right away.
