Pastor John Nuzzo to be Leader Retreat Speaker!

Yesterday morning as I was praying about our annual leader retreat, God impressed on my heart that my good friend, Pastor John Nuzzo, was the right speaker for this year's Leader retreat that's coming up on January 30-31.  I was sure that God was telling me this, but right away I thought, "Pastor John isn't going to be available.  It's January 5th--the retreat is only 25 days away.  His schedule is probably booked months in advance.  One thing I've been learning more and more over the past couple of months in particular, though, is when God moves me to do something in prayer to do it.  So, I called Pastor John and he said he would like to do the retreat, but he wasn't sure of his schedule.  He told me to e-mail him the dates and times and he'd let me know today.  He did--and He IS available!  It's been such a blessing for me personally, but also for New Life for us to have been associated with the Pastors' Group that includes Pastor John and a number of other pastors in the North Hills Area.  Saxonburg is really the "East" North Hills, but they let me participate, and we have benefited directly and indirectly in so many ways over the years from those relationships.  This will be the second time that Pastor John has led our annual leaders retreat, and Pastor Jeff from Allison Park has as well.  The encouragement and support these guys have offered over the years has been a true blessing.  I'm rambling here, but any of you New Life leaders who are reading this blog, know that we are in for a treat and a blessing on January 30-31 with Pastor John's leadership!
