FROM YOUR INTERIM PASTOR
Memorial Day Weekend is the official start of summer in the minds of many. School will be out and vacation times will begin (I think my nine-year-old granddaughter can tell me how many minutes are left in the school year!). There is certainly nothing wrong with vacations or at least I hope not for I’m planning on taking some weeks myself. But we do need to be careful that we do not “vacation” from our church and ministry responsibilities and then plan on picking them up again in the fall. The work of the kingdom of God is far too important to be set aside. Take your vacation time and be safe and have fun. But also do your part for your congregation as well.
It is encouraging to receive notes from visitors to our Sunday services requesting more information about the church and how to become a member. In one sense I am an outsider to Victory as I will leave when a new pastor comes on the field. As an outsider in that sense, I can say that you have a most impressive congregation and very much to offer. I am very optimistic with respect to the future of the congregation.
Have a good summer.
