A blessed Wednesday to you!
Last Sunday was a glorious day indeed! As I mentioned in my sermon, it was a day of great celebration. Sally Azar was ordained as the first Palestinian woman pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land. Her ordination can been seen by clicking this link. Her remarks, in English, can be viewed at 1:41:23. I encourage you to take time to listen to her words.
For our congregation, it was also a day to celebrate. We held our first in-person congregational meeting since 2019. It was an opportunity to listen to how God's Spirit has been moving through this faith community. How we've been guided to be and bring Good News to the people in our communities. We also saw glimpses of light and hope as our ministry teams start working on their mission hopes for 2023. I encourage you to listen to your heart. How is God calling you to be a part of Living Waters ministry?
Whenever I introduce myself at meetings I always say that I have the privilege of being the pastor at Living Waters. It is an honor that I cherish. Thank you for your care, love, prayers, and support. Here's to a new year of truly being Christ's church.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor JJ
