Dear Friends,
As your new pastor, one of the many things I have come to appreciate about this congregation is the investment that has been made in order to livestream worship. I have been impressed with the professionalism that Jeff Brown and his team bring each Sunday to worship including multiple camera angles that keep the viewer engaged and showcase the talented musicians we have in our midst. What a joy it is to have this technology!
This weekend, I will be down in Orange County officiating the wedding of a very close friend who I have known since I was 18 years old and my wife Stephanie has known since she was 16. It is a gift for Stephanie and I to know that we will still be able to join you for worship even when we are at a distance. The fact that we get to pray and sing with you from hundreds of miles away in real-time is something I will never take for granted.
In my physical absence, Pastor Betty Pagett will be with you and will be leading a reflection on one of Jesus’s many important teachings on not hoarding what we have been gifted with. Tricia will be leading our children’s time and there will be a cake during fellowship hour to honor David Erskine’s time with us as Facilities Director. It promises to be a great Sunday and I hope you will be there in person or online.
Have a great weekend,
Pastor Luke
