My heart is full after a weekend of celebrating and blessing the newly minted King family. Their story is such a beautiful example of the power of God’s love! I can’t thank God enough for bearing witness to even just a small part of their incredible journey.

Read Pastor Steve’s Sermon: In case you missed it, you can read my sermon on putting God’s love into action. Read it here.

Hey y’all sorry I’m getting this out late. I was at a clergy retreat on Monday. It was a wonderful time to connect with other pastors, talk shop, and listen to God. I’m thankful for the experience and I’m thankful to be leading this community. The church is in a really healthy place and my eyes are open to see what God calls us to next.

I was with you all in Spirit on Sunday morning watching online. Anne, Brenda, and Lois did such a splendid job of leading worship in my absence. I am so thankful for Anne’s leadership and her responding to her call to pastoral ministry. Keep her in your prayers as we get closer to her commissioning this June!
