God is Faithful

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
(Lamentations 3:22-23)

As I look back at our annual parish meeting held this past Sunday the word that comes to mind is gratitude.

One year ago (almost to the day) I came out to visit with the Vestry and Bishops committee of St. John’s and Trinity to see if this might be something that God was calling us all to. And here, one year later I am grateful for all that God is doing in our midst.

Beside enjoying an amazing potluck brunch and hearing about God’s faithfulness in our Annual report, we took time to reflect on the following questions:

Remember…Looking back at the year gone by:

• What are we grateful for in the life of our parish this past year?  

Remain…How do we continue to live in faith (What does this chapter of the story look like?):

• What are our hopes for the parish in the year ahead?

Risk…What challenges are we facing and what changes might we need to make:

• What might need to change in the life of the parish in the year(s) ahead?

If you were not able to be at the Annual Meeting after the service on Sunday you can find a copy of the annual report here. And if you would like to have an opportunity  to answer the questions listed above, you can follow this link to a google form that will allow you to give your input online.

Blessings,
