Ten Years
Today, August 2nd, is the ten year anniversary of my ordination and installation as pastor of Goodwill Church in Montgomery, NY. (I feel like I've already talked too much about this.) I served communion twice tonight, and will five times tomorrow - once at a military base for only a handful gathered to worship. It's a humbling, yet satisfying thing. It may seem small to others, but it can't for me. This weekend, I preach the word of God: Habakkuk 1. I pray. I greet people at the door. I am a simple Christian pastor. Today and tomorrow together I will be so for about a thousand people in total, I suppose.

Pastor John - Any milestone is worth mentioning, and given all of us who have come through the doors in recent years who were not here since day one, a reminder isn't bad. (10 years of ANYTHING is worth noting, especially when it is to God's Glory)
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing simple about answering the call to ministry, especially as depicted in Isaiah 6:8.
Have a GREAT Day!
