Dear Friends,

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, "the only constant in this world is change." As your interim pastor, one of my jobs is to prepare you for change in order that you will embrace your next pastor and her/his attributes and strengths with zeal. This person will lead you to change in many ways, though any pastor will also cherish those things that have been held as precious in a particular congregation. 

A gentle change begins this Sunday in that we will be having 10 minutes of praise music prior to the beginning of the service. The last of these three songs is meant to be something to gather us all in, something contemplative to prepare our hearts for worship. Even though the service itself will continue to be the blended service it has been for many years, the time before the service is changing. I am seeking your feedback, both positive and negative, for us to then, as a worship committee and session, to evaluate your response to this change. Thank you for your patience, your input, and your support of the staff and session.

Peace,
Ron
