A Time of Transition

Dear Worshippers,

I want to encourage you to be praying as we seek the Lord and His will together in the coming weeks. I especially want to encourage you to pray for the Elders. They have a daunting task ahead of them and they need our prayerful support. But there is something else they will need as well, and I want to encourage you to prayerfully give this to them as well.

There will be a survey of the congregation that will seek to discern some things as we move forward: perceived strengths and weaknesses of our church, issues or concerns that should be addressed during this time of transition, characteristics of the pastor we should be looking for, and general perceptions of our congregation. They really need the perspective of everyone in the church. Every age group needs to respond. We need to pray and answer those questions when the opportunity arises. This will aid the process of discerning God’s will for our church. Please be ready to give it.

I am taking some time away next week. I will certainly be praying for the Elders, Pastor Miller, and our entire church. I want to encourage you to do the same. Let us seek the Lord during this time of transition with the expectation that He will reveal Himself to us through it, and give us the wisdom and courage to respond.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me.

In Christ,

Pastor Scott
