Ministers Musings

As Teri Smith has repeatedly said, “2008 - Change is Great!” Well, if not great, at least inevitable. As you can see even the Mirror is not exempt from change. Let us know what you think. It is our hope that it is more user friendly and easier to read. Some of our eyes are getting a little older and in need of assistance.

I will be journeying to Yakama Mission church on May 6, and returning to the office on May 14, 2008. I will be meeting with Lonna Owens and Don Shelton from Disciples Home Missions and members of the Yakama board. Keep us in your prayers as we discover newer ways to be a presence and witness to the Yakama Nation. We are ever diligent in maintaining a proper relationship with those whom we serve. (To refresh your memory, the four historic missions of the church are: Yakama (Washington), Inman (Texas), Appalachian (Kentucky), and All Peoples Christian Center (Los Angeles).

This is not the most expressive article (news wise or theological) that I have shared, but alas, time and situations have a way of shifting our objectives. I do, however, want to share with you the closing passage of scripture that will be used on Sunday, May 18, 2008, during our worship. It is found in Matthew’s Gospel, 28:20b and says, “And remember, “I am with you always, to the end of the age.” What more is there to say! Thanks be to God for such a gift.

Blessings
