Take a Moment Prayer : Week of June 8
Holy Spirit, pour out your power on me. Fill me with uncontainable excitement and energy for sharing Christ through my words and deeds. Empower the gifts I’ve been given, and unveil to me those yet undiscovered gifts within me. Remove any trepidation that may hold me back from sharing your presence. Keep me focused on the things that are of God. Pour over me your cleansing waters and redirect my attention when evil social distractions succeed in weaving their ways into my being. I am not sure exactly what situations I will face today; but of one thing I am sure, God, with your Holy Spirit in me, I am never alone and I have nothing to fear. Come with power, Holy Spirit…fill me and use me. Amen.
June 2025
Writing the Pastor’s Pen each month has most of the time been a challenging exercise for me. Coming up with a topic each month is not the easiest task unless it is a holiday or a issue. That means that usually Allyson gets my article at the last possible moment.
This month’s article is challenging to write for different reasons. Likely, most of you have heard the news that I shared with the Leadership Team at our meeting on May 27. I shared the same news in Sunday’s worship services on June 1. For some of you, this may be the first time you are hearing about this. I have announced my retirement effective on May 31, 2026. I have served as a pastor for the Church of the Brethren for 34 years.
