Interim Pastor
Good things end and begin in February. In February of 2022, I concluded 44 years of full-time ministry and…retirement began. Obviously, I didn’t know then that in two years, I would get to meet each of you. You have welcomed me warmly. So, I want to take a moment to share what my expectations are of myself as we minister together.
First, however long we are together in this ministry relationship, I will look at each of you as my Church family. I have connections with several churches in my past, but you are the church of my now. You are family. Secondly, I promise to give you my best. This is not, nor shall it ever be for me, a job … This is ministry and I’m glad I’m in it with you. Finally, we will dream together. I’m not sure yet what that means, but I’m positive it’s a very good thing. Thank you for allowing me to have this opportunity with you and among you.
