Change

This Sunday, August 24, will be my last Sunday at my church. I will have the opportunity to preach and am still considering and praying over what to share that day. In September I will begin serving as an interim campus minister at Purdue University. I'm excited about the opportunity to work directly with college students and to work with them in preparing for worship each week, among other activities. However, I do feel sad about the process of saying goodbye to people who have been such a great support and encouragement to me over the last almost 14 years now.

This Sunday, I am leaning toward speaking on the sacredness and holiness of place. I'll share that on Sunday. As I leave here and get through the departing process, I hope to have even more time to spend on the blog to write and reflect. Life has been hectic with all the change taking place. And, although change can be good, it is not always easy to transition into the "new creation," I will become. We'll see what happens.
