PLC’S 2025 STARTUP BLUES—
WE’LL FACE A CHALLENGING YEAR, FULL OF TOUGH DECISIONS;
SAME AS IT EVER WAS (refer Acts 1:12…)
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors;
we borrow it from our children—a Navajo proverb
Let us seek not to preserve the church of our past; rather let us keep those traditions that we believe may serve God’s future saints until the day Christ returns (pastor’s notion of an application)
Greetings Peace-folk, it is the beginning of our school year in this university town, and so, if we are honest with ourselves, it is also the beginning of our church year proper. And that is as-it-should-be since we as church are called to be in the world but not of the world (John 17:15). It is honest and we are doing good church if we at least feel some of that tension, yeah. And so I’d like to direct your attention to a couple-of things which have been on my mind looking ahead with leadership to the next several months.
Our council needs fresh, committed, eager leaders who wish to pursue excellence in the coming year; our current leadership is tired with the current pace of service—this can and will change. Peace Lutheran’s work is too important for us to lose our capacity to continue due to a lack of vision and internal stewardship. Please prayerfully consider both, where you might lead or serve and, more importantly, please voice where you see talent within our midst directly and encourage one another to lead in key positions at this time. I know I’m new and I know council turnover is like this but the right people in this cycle seems really important to Peace’s future effectiveness and growth. Please ponder these things and encourage your siblings in faith to come forward.
