Pastor Rob’s Reflections

I have two minister buddies that I talk to every week over Zoom. We chat about our lives, talk some politics, but mostly we share around the Bible and faith issues. We went to seminary together, and that forms a basis for what we do together. We develop sermons together; and, in general, we encourage each other in the faith. It has been very empowering for me as a person and as a minister.

I’m sharing this because it reminds me that we all can benefit from engaging trusted others in conversation about shared faith. Encouraging one another to share together is a way of strengthening our faith for the task of living out our faith in this very divided time.

Blessings! See you Sunday!
