We live in a time of transition. This
is true for this congregation right now as the Pastoral Search
Committee starts considering candidates. This is true for me as I
start contemplating what comes next for my journey. The wind of God’s
Spirit is blowing and there is change in the air. And this is always
true. It is, perhaps, more obvious when we find ourselves in
circumstances such as an active Search process. But it is always
true. This Sunday is the summer solstice, the longest day of the
year, as our journey around the sun moves us into yet another
seasonal transition. To live is to experience transition. What was is
no more. What will be is not yet. Each moment is new. And such change
can be uncomfortable because it reminds us that we are not ultimately
in control. Life happens. I invite you to remember that in the midst
of the change we are not alone. We are never alone. God’s
ever-present Spirit abides with us and journeys through the
transitions with us. And because of this reality I have the utmost of
confidence that we are headed into a bright and glorious future. May
we enjoy the ride.
