Grace and Peace to you all!
It is my joy to share with you that our new music director, Emmanuel, has officially started with us! I am energized by his love and passion for music and hopeful for the ways he will shepherd alongside us.
Confirmation classes are officially starting. If you have a youth starting in 6th grade that would like to join, please let me know. We have exciting things planned for our youth this year and are inviting everyone to join us! I will share more about each event when time comes closer.
We are still in need of volunteers for our two services. If you are interested, please reach out to Lynn or myself!
Now that we are back to two services, I would love to hear from you about your experience through the summer. Did you enjoy one service? Did you not? What was or was not enjoyable? Are you excited to be back at two services? Any feedback you can give me would be wonderfully appreciated.
Our partnership with the YMCA is going wonderful. It is a joy to see our gym filled with youth! We are grateful for the ways we can grow this partnership.
As I prepare for maternity leave in a few months, I wanted to share that I am so thankful for this community. What a blessing it is to already miss being together, but a joy to welcome our new baby. When I have finalized who the Pastoral leader will be during my leave, I will share with the community.
I am blessed to walk alongside each of you in your faith journeys. I am overcome with gratitude in the ways the Holy Spirit is at work in and through us. Thanks be to God!
Peace,
Pastor Rachel Perkins-Gama
