What do I say in my last missive?
What’s most important, of course.

October 2020

In this presbytery, I’ve engaged with the most talented and committed Christians. I’ve been challenged by lay folks and ministers alike: people committed to going deeper in their walk with God.

I too participated in the cross-border experience.  It was an eye-opening and soul-stirring experience.  The Spirit stirs within me.  I keep asking myself, “Now that I know, what must I do?”

How do we serve as conduits of God’s love, compassion, and healing presence in the public square?   Can God, in us, make a difference in this crazy, upside-down world?  Yes, I believe God can – and does!

We are a connectional church.  It’s a fundamental biblical tenet of our faith.  And so I’ve been intentional about pressing the importance of living out Hebrews 10:24-25, as a Presbytery.  If we are strong relationally, we will be more effective in missions.
