Family Christmas Time
We’re so grateful for all that God has done through this year. We’ve worked very hard, but God has been so good in providing far more than we deserve. Now what we’re coming to Christmas time, we will be taking it easier to enjoy this season with the kiddos. It’s the time of year to take stock of all that God has given to us.
We’re so blessed to have our Zoe volunteer team, core team, prayer team, and board. We’re blessed to have our church family at Open Arms to do life with week in and week out. We are blessed beyond belief with our two boys, Eden and Eli, who make us proud everyday. And we are so very blessed to have you all praying and giving so we can establish something bigger than all of us here in Ireland. We make an amazing team. Thank you for being a crucial part of it.
Merry Christmas.
Church Family
We have an amazing home church here in Dublin. We are so grateful to be a part of a life-giving community called Open Arms Church. We joined during the 15 months of covid lockdowns in Ireland, where churches weren’t allowed to meet in person. I (Blake) was able to step in and help them with online recording for the Sunday services. We began to build relationships with everyone on the team and fell in love with the people and the atmosphere. We couldn’t ask for a better place to raise our two boys, who have made several what are sure to be lifelong friendships with other boys their age.
Once live services came back we really found our place to serve. I help with worship on Sundays in Dublin, oversee production for both locations, and am on the church leadership team. Katy helps volunteer with the kids ministry. Not only has being part of Open Arms made a tremendous impact on our family, but it has been game-changing for Zoe Community.
From the beginning, Open Arms and the lead pastors, Sean and Gil Booth, have been overwhelmingly supportive of the vision for Zoe Community and partnering with us through these foundational beginning years. We’re grateful to Pastors Sean and Gil and the entire Open Arms family.
We will be having Christmas services this year on Dec. 18th and a special Christmas Eve service on the 24th. Please be in prayer as we celebrate Christmas with our church family. We love and appreciate you all. Thank you for all your prayers and support throughout the year. We pray you have a blessed Christmas Season with friends and family.
