Our Transition

I am sure you would agree with me on this: We get much of our motivation from our hopes which indeed steer our lives. Among our hopes as a congregation, we are looking forward to have our full-time pastor soon. Obviously, we have to live with the fact that we are still waiting for our pastor to come along. Joanne shall continue to work as our interim part-time minister in the coming 6 months. As for me, I shall be her partner and supporter because our CMC has kindly agreed to permit me to take up an even more flexible role. The reason behind such a change relates much to my New Year resolution to diligently discover my long-term ministry. Yes, an interim minister in our church is only a transition for me. Besides the fact that I lack the confidence and experience to serve as our full-time minister, my calling in the Lord is much more felt in the area of brotherhood support. As a result, I need to venture outside our church for the opportunity and confirmation towards such an aspiration.

I need your prayers and understanding for such a change as you shall be seeing me much less frequently than before. Nevertheless, please do NOT hesitate to talk to me as you wish for I am still an interim helper in terms of pastoral services. In the meantime, our CMC members will continue to share the burden of running our church collectively. Hopefully, such an arrangement will provide a smooth transition for our future pastor's coming. There may be inconveniencies, however, for example, things may take a bit longer to materialize and church decisions might take some time for collective endorsement. We again need your understanding and support to make good our arrangements. Let's continue to press on toward the goal and prize of God's calling as a holy family in His Kingdom. Amen.
