Derik’s gone… but he’ll be back… then gone again…
I took Derik to the South Shore train station in Chesterton this week, where he hopped a train to Chicago, and from there to Philadelphia… It’s a long trip! I dropped him off just before 3:00 pm on Thursday, and he was scheduled to arrive in Philadelphia at 8:00 pm… on Friday! That’s 29 hours on trains. I don’t know how he does it!
Derik will be gone from Living Hope for 3 Sundays, while he travels around visiting family and friends, but he’ll be back on Sunday, December 14. That’s also the day he graduates from Valparaiso University’s masters program in Chinese studies. He’ll be moving back to the Seattle area a few days later, so the 14th is our last chance to worship with him before he’s outta here.
Congratulations, Derik, on completing your degree (soon)! And thank you for serving us at Living Hope by leading us in worship for the past year! We’ll miss you!
Anyone wanting to keep up with Derik should visit (and subscribe to) his blog: brond.blogspot.com. He does a much better job of updating his than I do mine!
