By now, you may have heard that July 31 will be my last day serving as the pastor of Stowe Community Church. I have accepted a call to be the next senior pastor of the First Congregational Church of Yarmouth, Mass. Here is an abbreviated version of a letter I sent recently to the congregation of our church.
“Anne Lamott writes that the three essential prayers are ‘Help,’ ‘Thanks,’ and ‘Wow.’ Let me start by saying: ‘Wow!’ So many things about this church and community wow me, from Easter sunrise services on Mount Mansfield to a packed sanctuary singing “Silent Night” by candlelight on Christmas Eve. You may wonder, because of the pandemic, when some of these “wows” will happen again. I don’t know, but I do believe: ‘The best is yet to be.’
