Take a Moment Prayer : Week of June 15

God of all Creation, every day, I look to you for guidance for my life path. Sometimes the way seems clear; and other times it appears confusing. In those less than clear and overwhelming moments, I ask for your Holy Spirit to pour wisdom into my heart and mind. Help me to see the open doors in my path that lead me to you and your will for my life. Empower me with courage to use the gifts you have given me to say and do the right things that will not only make a difference in my own life; but, will also bless others. I want my life-light to shine for you…giving you honor and glory…and leading others to find you. With openness to your leading, I pray this in Jesus’ name. 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.
