Reflecting on a first Sunday

Today was the day. They say you can never overcome first impressions -- and so from the looks and sounds of things, things went well! I'm very excited about beginning my new ministry at Central Woodward. We have lots of work ahead. We must balance our work on growing the congregation with our service to others. We must discern our core values so as to move forward with our work as God's people. We must also focus our hearts on mind toward God in prayer and meditation. That being said, I can say, now several hours later, that we got off to a rousing start!

We've been here a week. Most of the furniture is in place, the books in the shelves, etc. But the fun is just about to begin. So, pray for us -- the Cornwalls and Central Woodward Christian Church. Pray that we might discern what it means for us to be missional.

Good things are ahead, I can sense that. We are moving out of the wilderness and into the promised land!
