Moving Weekend

The Garstang Free Methodist church sent a team of 7 to help us move all the belongings from the ministry center into storage. It was quite a job and we could not have done it without help. Many of our people lent a hand moving boxes, carrying furniture, loading vehicles, and cleaning the apartment. It was a team effort!
The ministry center is 3 stories with some large pieces of furniture that needed to come down 2 flights of winding, narrow stairs. It took 8 hours, we made the 5p.m. deadline to turn the keys in and have the landlord inspect everything. We were glad when the landlord said that everything looked good to him.
During the weekend not only did the team get everything moved but they also spent Saturday with our teens. We took them to Brugge during the day and then gathered Saturday evening for a cookout and youth meeting. They did a wonderful job connecting with our teens and leading the youth meeting and Sunday worship.
Moving out of the ministry center at 487 Torhoutsesteenweg was a little bittersweet. That location has been the place of our ministry identity for about 6 years. Now we are turning the page and writing a new chapter in the unfolding story of God's work through the Free Methodist Church in Belgium.
