The Pondering Pastor

There will be opportunities in the coming months to begin a new chapter in the life of Bloomfield Presbyterian Church on the Green. At the May meeting of Session, I announced my resignation as pastor of this congregation effective Sunday June 22nd.

I would like to thank the congregation for allowing me to spend two and a half years as your pastor. It did include a wide variety of emotions and experiences as I interacted with you. Thank you to the congregation for paying my salary which allowed me to support my family.

I am excited for you that in the summer days following my departure, you will once again be worshipping the Lord with the Park Methodist church during your Summer Worship Partnership. My prayer is that these summer worship gatherings will be a strength to you and a breath of fresh air as you figure out your next steps as a congregation. Isn’t it wonderful in times when you might need extra strength or spiritual comfort, God has already brought you together in a deepening relationship with a neighboring congregation? God is the one who connects us to life and grace.

We place our trust in the Lord. I will trust the Lord for your spiritual growth during this next chapter of your congregation’s story. I invite you to keep the Good’s in your thoughts as we open up our next chapter.

Joy to you in the journey,

Pastor Ken
