Introducing....

PASTOR JEFF HICKS!!!

(I want to be a dentist!)

little joke for you jeff, ok, here is the REAL Pastor Jeff Hicks...


see everyone, he IS smiling...sort of scary tho!

After having a great few days visiting with our friends (the Metgers) from Hungary,
showing them some sights of Kendal and the Lakes District...


Jeff and Phil up at Kendal Castle overlooking all of the town of Kendal



eating fish-n-chips in the freezing cold (with gloves on) overlooking Lake Windermere

a quick walk through town (we stopped by the "Truly Scrumptious" cafe)

tea, snacks & games for the girls and technology for the guys (jude even has his DS)

and a curry with the Cuozzos.

We squeezed a lot in 2 days!
And then the day finally arrived for Jeff to be prayed over and,
for all intents & purposes...ORDAINED!
How amazing that his parents & sister and her family,
SKYPED in and were "present" for the whole service (5:30am their time!!)(back in PA)

It was a gorgeous morning and we were completely blessed to share this event with
our amazing family at Calvary Chapel Spring Valley.


praying over Jeff (even all the way from the states!)

Jeff's Dad & Mom sent over a very special gift for Jeff as well.
It is a Communion set that Jeff's dad (former Chief of Chaplains, US Army)
received for HIS ordination, 30 years ago!They had it engraved to:

"Pastor Jeff Hicks, Ordained February 14th, 2010"

and on the inside:

"In Remembrance of Me"
There were very few dry eyes.

It was truly a blessed day!
Thanks to all who made it amazing,
and thanks to GOD for all He is and all He does!

Call to ME and I will answer you,
and show you great and mighty things
which you never knew!
Jeremiah 33:3
