Boldly Stepping Into God's Future

I have now been your pastor for almost 6 month. We’ve been through Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter together, to say nothing of a successful stewardship campaign. And through it all I have felt welcomed, appreciated and cared for. The joyful enthusiasm which was evident at my installation service, on Easter morning, and, indeed, every Sunday, fills me with gratitude for the opportunity to be your pastor and walk this path of ministry with you. As I meet people around the community and they find out where I work, one of the first things I hear over and over again is what a positive reputation Plymouth has in and around Helena. We have an important role to play and we are well positioned to play it. Which is why I am excited about the upcoming Visioning Process which you will read about elsewhere in this newsletter. It will provide us with the opportunity to listen for God’s guidance and focus our energies towards the areas of ministry where we can make the most difference. I believe you will find it to be an exciting and enlivening experience, and I hope you will choose to participate. Together may we step boldly into the future to which God is calling and leading us.
