Summer, 2025
It feels like only yesterday that the choir was singing “Dropkick Me Jesus, Though the Goalpost of Life.” Yet that was Rally Sunday back in September 2024. The church calendar year has quickly come to a close. This June 8th is Pentecost, and after that it is time for summer. Now, to be certain, that doesn’t mean the church is closed. Far from it, and I hope to see you all in church over the summer months (nudge, nudge). Yet we cannot deny that it is a time for vacations, time to get away from the “cold weather” routines and to spread our proverbial wings and fly. To all of you, I wish you a safe and happy summer. I thank you for your continued support of my ministry, I thank you for your support of St. Paul and your support for our on-going mission.
I have a t-shirt that some of you saw at our breakfast with the Easter bunny that reads: “Behind every great pastor is an awesome congregation.” How true that statement is! I wish you all the best in the coming months. As I like to do, I leave you with St. Paul’s farewell in his letter to the Romans:
Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from faith— to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.
Blessings,
Pastor Jason
