Pass the Baton!


The leadership baton exchange and installation service was quite a powerful moment for Praise Fellowship Church. It had been 29 years since the last pastoral installation thanks to the excellent leadership of Ed & Margaret Homer. I was overwhelmed with this momenteous experience of thinking of the greatness of God and how He has orchestrated all of this and I can see his fingerprints all over my life for about 29 years. God has been moving me forward from the beginning to this moment to serve as a leader of PF. Wow – as my friend shared on a missions trip recently – "Way too much better than Great"! It was truly a…way too much better than great experience. Pastor Ed Margaret Homer was there along with my good friend and superintendant, Larry Liebe. Ed Homer shared some great words of support and expressions of gratitude. The charge was given by Larry Liebe and a new beginning has been declared: we are all on a hunt to see the bigness of God being revealed in PF and the Sheboygan area. Thanks to the board and leadership who have opened their arms to the Apple family and we all look with anticipation for what God is going to do next.
