I should say "Ready or not Humphrey, here we come!". Well, on September 20th, David and I had our first Sunday as Pastor and Mrs. Cialini at the Humphrey Baptist Church in Great Valley, NY. What a wonderful day it was! We had 34 in attendance that day with 5 of those being my two sisters, Zach, Amy and Josh. They had come down the day before to help us work on the parsonage and clean the church, oh, and to keep me out of my husband's hair (as he so graciously told them!). We had a good old time together...lots of fun and laughter - as usual!
The people at Humphrey Baptist were so warm and friendly. We already feel at home with the church family...wonderful people! Here are just some of the pictures that were taken on that day - enjoy!

Yay! You didn't forget about us! Your church looks so homey. I'm so glad your fitting in. I miss you so much though! Keep the updates coming!
What a neat looking little church! That's awesome that you and David are serving so faithfully in the ministry!
so happy for you all! May God bless your work there in a very special way.
I miss you guys so much already! I hope we can come and visit soon! The church looks really nice. Keep writing!
Well, it's about time. I was so happy to see that you had posted pictures. Your church looks beautiful. I'm excited for you both, and at the same time I miss your family. Please keep us posted.
What a beautiful church! Thanks for the update, we were excited to see that you'd posted. We are so happy for you. We miss you all so much, of course, but how wonderful it is to see you so happy at your new home. Keep the posts coming :)
Your family will be missed in so many ways. Please keep us posted on what God is doing through you. Your new church looks wonderful.
Wow Katie! I did not know David took a pastorate!!! Awesome for you all! How far are you from family etc... Are you living in the parsonage...I am sure you have it as cute as ever! Love the church. It is gorgeous! Write soon! Love ya,
Just realized I didn't leave a comment. It was so nice to see pictures. We miss you buys lots, but it's wonderful to see how God is using you in Humphrey, too. Too bad your husband was so willing to serve and so talented and so good at everything he did. How will we ever replace him with only one person?
Came by to visit through Journal for Women...We used to live in upstate NY. I am so happy you all have a new place to begin this work. Great pictures. -Mrs.Nancy Musser
Thanks for sharing. It looks like the perfect little country church. It reminds me of the Methodist church I went to as a child. We at Heritage are realizing how many jobs you two did. We will have a hard time replacing you with just two people. We'll have to really keep praying. I miss you and your family. Mrs. Ruthven
Hey Katie,
Congratulations on your new church! It looks cute! I do enjoy checking out your blog. It helps me "keep in touch" with you.
Love,
Jenny
Congratulations, Katie!! How exciting for you both. Keep us updated and we'd love to see pics of the parsonage!
As I was reading through your other posts, I saw the pic of Aunt Barb at the birthday party. I haven't seen her in ...years...I think the last time was my grandmother Nesbitt's funeral. She looks great. Would love to send her a card. Do you have an address I could write to her with? I'd appreciate it!
Again, I am truly excited for you!! I love being the wife of my Pastor. What great men of God we married!! :)
