Welcome!

I am so glad that you have taken the time to log in and read my blog. Each week, I am going to try and write down a few thoughts and hope this will bring you more insight into your Pastor's heart. It is my desire to be more intentional in relationships in this next season of ministry and want to blog to assist in the process. So here we go!

I have been so blessed to watch our church grow into a loving and caring family. Each Sunday that we are together is filled with love and acceptance. It is not every place that we go, that we can find a warm hug from Bessie, or a firm handshake from Paul or an open heart that truly cares. We are blessed... Today one of my collegues in the Pastorate called discouraged because in his church, they struggle simply by reaching out and loving people who visit. That troubles my heart, because the Church was designed with others in mind.

Now does that mean, we have arrived, not really. We need to be careful to reach out to others on a regular basis, sit in different spots to get to know others and maybe take someone out for a coffee and find out what makes them tick.

So, give it some thought, who you might want to get to know over this next season of ministry. You might be surprised how much you have in common...

Philippians 2:4 says, 'Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.'NIV

Enjoy your week...
