Sunday was a day of celebration for Pastor Van and Diane as they retired from a marathon of 35 years in full-time ministry. Sunday was also a day of transition as Joy and I became the lead pastor of First Assembly.
It was a day of emotions. We celebrated, we teared up, we laughed, we ate a lot!, we reflected old stories, we dreamed about the future.
All in all, we allowed God to maneuver His leadership for His Church. We humbly accept his assignment. We're excited for the future. We believe greater days are yet to come for our church and community.
My prayer: Keep us humble, pure of thought, fastened to His Spirit, contagious with passion for God, and compassionate toward those spiritually disconnected from God.
