The Shared Ministry Annual Church Picnic is scheduled for August 4. We’ll begin with a short worship service at 10:30 am and then immediately follow with a fellowship picnic. The GPS address is 293 Beasley Drive, Versailles 40383, which is the Woodford County Fairgrounds. More info will follow in upcoming bulletins. I know this is still July, but the info is being shared so you can mark your calendars now.
We have a new Bishop-Elect in the IK Synod. With our current bishop’s retirement coming on September 1, by the grace of God, Synod Assembly election provided us Rev. Tim Graham. He is the current lead pastor at Messiah Lutheran Church, Fort Wayne, Indiana. Bishop Tim’s full biographical information is on the Indiana-Kentucky Synod ELCA website.
Sundays after Pentecost are a liturgical time for growing as disciples. We grow the church by numbers, and more so by faith and witness. Sounds like family, doesn’t it? One of the things I like about small churches is the feeling of family. I certainly experience that joyfully in both of the congregations of the shared ministry. Churches are family systems. I am thankful to all the lay ministers in both congregations and their focus on Christ, growing as church family, in faith and in witness.
Blessings this summer! And press on with me into the adventure of God’s amazing grace.
With Hope and Confidence in Christ,
Pastor Jerri ╬
