A chapter in my life has just ended as the community I was a part of for 20+ years, and which I served in different pastoral roles for 14+ years has closed. So, I am in between chapters with both the uncertainty and excitement of unwritten pages in front of me. In this time when the next chapters our forming I thought it might be fun and useful to prayerfully ponder what I am hoping for in the next chapters and to invite others along for the pondering. I will be attempting this in a variety of ways, none of which will be perfect, but as I have been reminded recently anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. So here is a little audio/video of questions I think it would be helpful to ask in between chapters (which I suppose in and of itself is a chapter).
One thing, I am feeling is that I would like to enter this new season of forming a new community sooner rather than later. I am excited for what could be, but in between I do know that it is important that we do the soul work of mourning. In the midst of the mourning though, I am longing to dream together of what's next... so truly come on over and share your thoughts and dreams, the coffee will be on, the backyard is open, and if you like we can open a bottle of wine.
