Minister's Message:
Care of the Soul
As we approach the end of our first year together, I want you to know what an honor it has been to serve as your minister and how deeply moved I am by your commitment to one another and to the vitality of the church! I am reminded of the purple yarn we tossed to each other in the sanctuary at the beginning of the church year to illustrate our connections to one another. We need the love, support, and knowledge of others in our lives to lift our spirits, celebrate our successes, heal our wounds, mourn our losses, appreciate our differences, and adapt to the changes in our lives. It has been my privilege to bestow, witness, and receive these blessings in the life of our church community this past year. We are truly each other’s answered prayers.
I also want to acknowledge and appreciate your willingness to embrace the use of technology and explore new ways to promote who we are in community. I know first hand how challenging this is and I applaud your success. As we continue to develop new skills and experiment with new ideas, we open ourselves to new encounters and participate more fully in the grand adventure called life. I am happy to be on this grand adventure with you and grateful for the opportunity to work with those who have served on the Executive Board and Committees of this past year. I hope you have a wonderful summer and I look forward to deepening my relationships with more of you in the coming year.
May the warmth of the summer breeze,
The smell of the ocean air,
The beauty of the setting sun,
The magnificence of a starry night,
Renew your spirit, and restore your
Confidence in the mystery of creation
and in the hope for a bright tomorrow.
Many Blessings,
Beau
