Pastor's Message
The new year is upon us, and it is often a time for taking stock of our lives and weighing the possibilities before us. What were my priorities these past months and how did they serve me? Should I realign them and what could that look like? I think such a thing ought to run deeper than simple new years resolutions or embracing the newest “life hacks”. Rather it’s a deep and prayerful consideration of deepening our connection to ourselves, our neighbors and to God.
To that end I have decided to foster deeper connections not only in my personal life but in those of the church. I will be establishing a monthly study every third Tuesday at the parsonage beginning on February 18th. There will be more information in next month’s newsletter on the topics and other details as I finalize my decision on resources and guides we might use.
Secondly, on Sunday February 16th after the service at Cross of Christ I will be hosting an Open House at the parsonage from roughly 12-3 PM. I have heard from multiple folks since I moved into the house that it had been years even decades since they had last set foot inside. Well, it’s about time we changed that! I hope there will be a strong showing from both congregations for the festivities!
Lastly, if I may be so bold, I’d love to come to your house or get a tour of where you work and get a better sense for what you do. So often I find myself in close contact with members and friends after a tragedy or during a health crisis. This is of course holy and meaningful connection but how much better to interact and connect BEFORE something might happen. So, if you’d be interested, I’d love to come out sometimes to see you and your loved ones. Let’s put something on the calendar!
I pray for a safe and meaningful year for each of you. I pray in these beginning days of the coming year that you can discern a path forward more closely aligned with who you are and who God made you to be, whatever that looks like. I pray that you experience deep and meaningful joy and that the peace and hope of Christ attends you through all that this year will bring.
As Ever in Christ,
Pastor CJ
