“The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.” (Frederick Buechner)
Plymouth Congregational Church is in the midst of a Visioning Process which is designed to help us explore the place to which God is calling us. What are our gifts? What are we passionate about? What do we have to offer the world? Such questions as these will help us begin to discover the particular ways in which we can live out our calling as members of the Body of Christ. To be clear, there are a great many ways in which we are already doing this. One of the things which attracted me to Plymouth in the first place is that you reach out beyond yourselves to touch the world with love in so many ways. The exploration we are engaged in during this Visioning Process will simply allow us to gain clarity regarding the specific details of our mission and purpose as a congregation. It is an exciting opportunity to listen carefully for God's leading. I believe it will provide us with the inspiration to become even more passionate and effective than we already are. Thank you for the joyous opportunity to be your Pastor at such a time as this.
