A Cup of Joe - 8/14/13

8/14/2013

 
Thank you for the incredibly warm welcome you have extended to me!

This welcome has only gone to affirm the sense of you that I got from looking over your materials in the interim search process and from the interview – you are an incredibly friendly and active group! Full of passion and idealism and a faith that you are living out, making a real difference in your lives and in the life of the greater community.
This is a time of transition for this congregation and I am impressed by how you've not shied away from change, but jumped in with both feet. I'll be away this weekend and most of next week visiting my parents and attending an Interim Training workshop in Minneapolis where I'm sure I'll be getting my feet more than wet.

A time of transition means that we will encounter some bumps in the road ahead. In fact, one of the most important things we'll do is try to figure out where those bumps might be and that will require us to actually hit a few of them. But the energy and enthusiasm that has been so evident to me on meeting you will carry us through.

Please don't hesitate to be in touch with me. My office hours are Tuesdays through Thursdays, and while you'll often just be able to find me at the Fellowship, it's best to make an appointment so that we can be sure to have the time together we need. You can reach me at 989-400-4933 and atRevJoeUUFCM@gmail.com.

Please note that the "Beauty is..." journal I mentioned in the service last Sunday will be living for a while in the Social Hall. Feel free to read it and to add your own reflections to it and practice beauty!

Walking with you is my prayer!

Blessings,
Rev. Joe
