Minister's Moment

I am so excited to be diving into “Ask the Pastor 2.0”! Iappreciate everyone’s thoughtful questions and, honestly, acouple of these questions were about theological concepts I have never heard about before (and I do love to learn new things!).

Like last year, we will have a couple of “multi-week” topics and a couple of “one-offs.” It should provide for interesting discussions. Our topics this year will cover the concept of how the Divine is connected, the heaven/earth connection, how to live faithfully in today’s world, and what Paul really had to say about women’s leadership in the church.

It is my hope that these sermons will be just a start. One of our Core Values is independence of thought and open discussion. In the explanation of our Core Values, it describes this value, saying, “Not everyone believes the exact same thing about everything. We value people using resources and forming opinions and beliefs on their own. We value asking questions. And we value not always having the answer.”

A faith that asks questions is a faith that is growing and evolving. May we continue to grow throughout this summer and beyond.

As always, it is a joy to serve as your pastor.

Peace and Love,

Ann
