A pastor and a stray dog…
January 22nd, 2007At my installation yesterday a pastor friend of mine gave me the charge on what I need to remember as a pastor when it comes to serving Christ and the church. This is something he said, “A minister by the name of James Martin once wrote that being a pastor is like being a stray dog at a whistler’s convention.” Isn’t this true??? What a joy it was to celebrate God and his goodness yesterday as the presbytery installed me as the new pastor of this great church. My family and I were blessed not only by our church family, but by friends from other churches that we’ve been part of over the years and who we consider family in so many ways. Thanks again to those who came out and celebrated together at our new church. Pictures to come soon…
