(In The Life Of The Church)
Easter
Bye for now
Well, my friends, this Sunday will be my last for a while as I embark on sabbatical.
If you weren’t around for town hall, the main thing I’ll be working on is a set of liturgical calendar resources for our community. I’ll also be spending some time revisiting a philosophy of ministry paper I wrote my last semester of seminary/first semester of this job. My hope with this is to reflect on what I’ve learned over the last seven years, and to form that into a vision for the next chapter of my time at Ubc.
I’ll be sorry to miss the rotation of preachers and musicians we have lined up this summer, but I’m so thankful for the embarrassment of riches we have in the gifts of our community. We have already been in a season where we are reminded that Ubc does not reside in the personality of a single individual, and this feels like a very meaningful way to embody that together.
To that end, I have one simple pastoral word to offer you for these coming months:
The life of Ubc is not on hold right now. Your life is not on hold right now. And so may you continue to seek to be formed in the way of Christ; to love God, embrace beauty, and live life to the fullest.
I’ll miss you all while I’m away, and look forward to being back in August.
