A fresh start

One of my favorite things about the Bible is how many stories tell about a restart.  Moses gets a restart after he commits murder. Noah and his family get a restart after the flood. Lots of people get a whole change of life after their encounters with Jesus.

In our lives, there are those moments. Whether it is the change of season, circumstances, the result of things out of our control or things within it, we get to embrace a new thing.

Now, we are starting once again. Starting a new season of clergy leadership, starting the new school year, and starting to claim the next leg of our journey in Carondelet.  

As is always the case, there is much we do not know about this new thing God is doing. But we know these things:

• more than ever before, we have neighbors joining us for worship - and that is cause for great celebration
• we are a community of honesty and love. 
• we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses and the Holy Spirit who is leading us forward.
• We are loved.

I'm so delighted to be a part of St. Paul's. I thank God for our life together. Let's get started!
