The
leadership received an email from Jason Rodenbeck
Thursday informing us that Vangie has made the painful decision to end her
relationship with Ten Mile Christian Church in Meridian Idaho
where she accepted a staff position at the beginning of this year. There was a
real expression of pain they have been through in Jason’s note. Vangie and he
have gone through tremendous turmoil over the past few months and the decision
became increasingly clear that it was time to move in a different direction.
Jason has secured employment teaching and they will be moving back to the
Cumming area in September. There are obvious expenses involved in making such a
large move across the country.
We
would like to invite our Castle family and friends to make a contribution to
help offset some of the cost involved in this move. We will receive these gifts
this Sunday, August 23 and next Sunday, August 30. If you are writing a check
for this designated purpose, please do NOT write Jason and Vangie’s name on the
check. You can attach a note to it or verbally inform one of the leaders of
your intent. If you give cash, attach a note to it or place it in an envelope
and write on the envelope or, again, verbally inform a leader that you wish for
your gift to be used for Jason and Vangie’s expenses.
It
goes without saying that Jason and Vangie worshiped with us and generously
served Castle for a number of years. Let’s be generous in our prayers and
resources for them during this difficult and trying period in their life.
