Thoughts Along The Way

You have likely heard me say this before, and in all likelihood will hear me saying it again - I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be with you as your Transitional Pastor. In the almost two months that I have been here I have experienced you to be a healthy, vibrant, and active congregation. There are so many ways in which you demonstrate a profound understanding of what it means to be the Church.

I know that this transition period is challenging for many of you, as you grieve the absence of your long-time and much beloved pastor. And I have the utmost of confidence that you will rise to the occasion as you learn to live into the bold future to which God is calling you. Life is not as it was, and it has not yet become clear what it will be. For now it is enough for us to know that God is alive and present in the midst of this community, calling forth gifts which are already manifest among us. Together we are the Church. Together we will continue to be the Church in new and exciting ways.
