Please remember our congregation in prayer, as we move to call a new pastor.

4. I don't mind one bit.

Our Church Covenant states, "... 11.) We resolve to respectfully and honorably engage all men and women of good will, seeking always to promote and sustain peaceful relations with our neighbors, and with all mankind." We have both pagans and atheists helping us in our soup kitchen, food pantry and homeless shelter, and we are glad of it. According to the Gospel of John, Jesus' first charge to the Disciples was "...Feed my lambs". Nowhere does He say, "But pagans can't help you do so".

It is odd how other congregations instinctively know that you've come to 'scope out' their pastor. I wish that more people understood that we are there only because their pastor has first indicated an interest in our open pulpit, and not vice-versa.
