Preaching Series June & July
When the pastor is away, the congregation will play. Isn’t that the old saying. Perhaps, the original saying had some- thing to do with a cat and mice. Still, I hope it does not apply here.
In June, I will lead my final service here before surgery, which has more to do with exposing our congregation to a different (for us currently) Communion service. As always, I want to provoke you to think while encouraging you to explore our faith more deeply. Hopefully, as I have mentioned at different times on Sunday mornings, some of you may wish to discover possible worship formats for upcoming services.
I pray that you will use my time away to do that. Please encourage our speakers and worship leaders. Have thoughtful conversations with one another. For me, please pray diligently that I may return to at least preach June 25th.
However long my absence may be, be faithful in service, support one another, commit to constructively build the ministry of this church, and be present in worship.
