Dear friends,

After a lot of soul-searching, I've decided that Tuesday (August 31) will be the last day for The IF Gathering Place. While it makes me really sad even to write that sentence, ongoing changes in my life have made maintaining the blog difficult. September 1 will mark the blog's one-year anniversary, and this seems like a fitting time to stop. It has been a great pleasure, and an honor, to get to know several of you, and this community of prayer has brought me tremendous comfort and hope. I will always be grateful for the encouragement this prayer group has given me. I hope that it has done the same for you.

Kate

Dear Friends,

Today we celebrate our 250th post! Somehow this milestone makes it harder to put the blog on a little hiatus. But DH and I are about to move cross-country and then take a vacation before he starts a new job. All to say, The IF Gathering Place is taking a month pause. I'll be back June 22. In the meantime, I will try to read and comment whenever I have the opportunity. And, of course, you will all be in my prayers.
