Just as the changing seasons signal a time of transition, Congregational Presbyterian Church is entering a new season. September brought the ending of a longer term ministry and the beginning of a shorter term interim ministry. November brings the ending of an interim ministry and the beginning of a called ministry.

“So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye”
With those words, the children said goodnight to the partygoers in the Sound of Music. Today I join them in that refrain as I say goodbye to you as your pastor.

Paul’s letter to the Philippian Christians is one of my favorite books in the Bible. Unlike other letters he writes, Paul is not dealing with heresy in the church nor is he writing a tightly woven theological essay. He is writing to people he is proud of, followers of Christ who are doing pretty well.

Is it summer already? Spring, as wet and cold as it was, poured over us in a deluge of activities that confirmed a long-awaited hope: something new is springing up! The past few months have been a breath of fresh air and a shining of new light following the stuffy and dark two years of COVID-19. It has been such a blessing to see our church family spring back to life in ways that were impossible six months ago. God is faithful!

“’Comfort, comfort my people,’ says your God” – Isaiah 40:1
We are about to enter our third year with COVID and many have become disheartened by its effect on our everyday lives, from small but irritating inconveniences to serious illnesses and death. In the midst of ongoing discouragement, the Word of God speaks comfort to us.
“God is the last link of the chain, but He is the first also.”
