Picture 1 is a beautiful lady in courtyard of 18th century mission house in sonoma, california. Picture 2 is Vintage Faith Church in Santa Cruz - a well known missional church, pastored by Dan Kimball. That's where we worshiped on Sunday, Aug. 9th. The other pictures are of our visit to the Santa Cruz area.

The Sabbatical begins!

Published 8/15/2009 by mnorman

We kicked off our trip in Seattle Washington. We were able to meet with some of our extended Gateway family (Adam Reasner) as well as with a leader (Brad House ) of a well known Missional church, Mars Hill. A trip to Seatte would not be complete without a visit to the Pike Place fish market. The last shot is of our meeting with a missionary at the Blue Angel air show.
