youth along with Nate Miller will never be forgotten. We especially enjoyed those wonderfully wacky Junior Highers, who are all now close to graduation from High School! Of the many events done with the youth, the Live Nativity was one of the most meaningful for both of us.
I would be remiss if I didn't men-
tion the great opportunity we had to do something we love so much, singing and preaching, with the VIP service. What a blessing those times were for us and how we pray the goal and mission of this service is far reaching. Another, even more profound, spiritual experience for us was when we took our Walk to Emmaus. Phil Gardner and Stephanie Simmons were instrumental in making this happen and many pilgrims showed their support during our journeys.
After serving Ebenezer as associate pastor for two years, I was re-appointed to Hockessin for two years as their associate. I am currently serving a two-point charge in Cecil County, Maryland, Perryville-Principio Parish. During my second year at Hockessin the Lord saw fit to bless us with a beautiful daughter, Ida Marie Loving-Moore.
I feel as though Ida is just as much Ebenezer's daughter as she is Hockessin's and ours. I was blessed to be a part of the women's retreat, "God's Little Dreamer" shortly after my transfer and was surprised with a baby shower by these beautiful women! They were the first to do so, even ahead of my own family.
Then, after she was born, I became gravely ill. Just prior to this I had been placed on bed rest and several women brought dinners out to us, stayed with J.B. and Ida, and Connie and Jack Tarburton looked after us quite diligently. I will forever be grateful for the love and support this congregation showed
