Our church is currently in the process of moving out of our old building in Immanuelkirchstr. to a new place one block away.

The new place is less than half the price of what we're paying for the old place, has a more "open" feeling to it, is on the ground floor rather than the attic (which means it's more accessible and cooler in hot summers), and is on two floors which is nice for storage space, etc. So I am really going through mixed emotions this week. One emotion is definitely excitement about the new place.

Another emotion is a tangible sadness. There are so many moving memories I have with this old place. Here are just a few (in no particular order)...

• Jamming "Invitacion" with Zakcq, Carlos, Anna, and Claudia
• Strings breaking
  
• Seeing Suzanne van Dyck worship with all her heart
• Mike dancing in the back during worship
• John van Dyck sharing on D-Day
• Mike's "memorial rocks"
  
• Our Easter service with the cross
• Saying goodbye to Zakcq and Jessica
• Saying goodbye to the Mansfields
• Saying goodbye to the Johnsons
• Saying goodbye...
• Saying goodbye again...
  
• Our crisis weekend with Joe Dunn and others, deciding what to do without a pastor in town.
• Mark Darling kicking my butt into gear
  
• Mark Bowen touching my heart

• Last weekend's final service at the old place, with story after story of people sharing how God has changed their lives using Rock Berlin...looking forward to what God will continue to do!
