Dear friends,
At this Sunday’s Congregational Meeting, we celebrated all the work of this year’s leaders including our faithful Moderator, Tom Moore, who will complete three years of service in this role in December. As a gift of gratitude, we presented to him a photo of the Tiny House Village, taken by Cassie Tripp, as a reminder of the key role he played in making this vital ministerial partnership a reality. We also voted on the 2022 slate of officers and our congregational budget for the coming year. As I stated in Sunday’s sermon and again at our meeting that afternoon, I do believe God equips God’s people for whatever it is God is calling them to do. God has indeed equipped us with the talents, experience, and skills of MANY among us. So this week, as we peer into next year and celebrate all we have been able to accomplish with God’s help thus far, I invite you to lift up a prayer of gratitude for our current Board and officers as they finish their terms, and for all who will serve in 2022 and beyond:
