I know for a lot of us we have spent the past few months reflecting on all that God has done through the ministry of Brian and Diane. And even more dreading having to say goodbye to a really good pastor who has influenced us all in very good ways.
I am no doubt going to miss Brian. He is not only my colleague but someone I now call a very good friend. All to say transitions are tough. I think of the disciples were less than enthusiastic that their friend and leader (Jesus) kept saying that he would endure the cross and die. But we all know the story that lays on the other side of the Crucifixion. The resurrection in so many ways represents the foundation of our faith.
As I reflect on my short career in the United Methodist Church (I added it up... I have worked a total of 8 years on staff at a church... young I know)... I have been blessed by so many pastors that have spoken great things in to my life and have helped shape who I am. Not just one pastor but many.
I am excited about this new journey. I believe with all my heart that God is at work. God is at work in this community of faith. And it doesn't take long to see it. And I am excited to see how God works through Pastor Brunson and his wife Doris.
I am looking forward to this journey alongside you.
Please be praying for Brian and Diane as they transition in to their new appointment. And pray for Pastor Brunson and Doris as they get settled in here at Pleasant Green.
Blessings!
