Our church's annual meeting is on for tonight after a church supper (that should get us all in a fellowship-filled mode, and take away any crankiness generated by hunger during the meeting!), and it's a chance to reflect on the year that has passed. As I was looking through the annual report, the minutes to last year's meeting include an update from the pulpit committee, two weeks after we had first been contacted by Austin on their behalf, and a couple days after we came up for our first meeting: "On Tuesday... they interviewed a young pastor who is prayerfully considering as to what direction he is led. He is graduating this spring." That interview was a year ago yesterday, and it's amazing to see where that year has brought us as a church (we've now been here seven months) and where it has brought me and Dee as a family. God is really amazing in the ways he brings his people together.
Tonight's annual meeting should be a great time of reflection on the past and seeking direction for the future. We are a group of God's people here in our community, and we need to take our representative role seriously. Let's pray for God to work wonderfully through us in the coming year.
