This congregation is in the process of
searching for a new settled pastor. The Pastoral Search Committee is
currently finishing up their work on the Congregational Profile – a
comprehensive description of who you are as a congregation. This
document will help potential candidates discern whether or not you
might be a good fit for them. I am confident that you will attract
highly qualified candidates because you are a strong and vital
congregation with a wide variety of qualities and gifts which any
pastor would want to find. One such quality that rose to the surface
in the past couple of weeks is your ability to love and support your
pastor. During this time when my mom was in the hospital and then
when she died I have been surrounded by your support and love and
prayers. The cards have flooded my mailbox. The comments on Facebook
have warmed my heart. The hugs and kind words have touched me deeply.
Thank you. When I speak of you to people I know (and I do so often),
I can assure you that your kind and compassionate support is high on
the list of qualities which I mention. It is a joy to be your pastor.
- Pastor Roger

the flow)
