the vote
I am ready to go, ready to serve.
This past Sunday, the congregation voted to bring me on staff as Pastor for Young Adult Ministries at Zion. It is a half time position, but more than that it is a great new challenge as I continue to forge ahead in life.
I’m really excited about what God is going to do with this. It is a sizable step for Zion to take, and a bit of a risky one at that… but I am trusting that God has our best interest at heart… and I’m also needing to trust the collective wisdom of the congregation – and as they hear from God about what is the next step to take.
I was unsure how the vote would go… and I had set the bar high – as far as percentages go… but the vote was strong and affirming – stronger than I expected to be honest.
I think it is great that Zion is taking a particular interest in this segment (20 somethings) These young people have so much to offer the church, and many times are overlooked for stuff… And I am stoked to be part of something new and a bit progressive. (at least for our area.) I don’t have too many pre-conceived notions about creating programs and stuff… mostly I want to come alongside of what God is stirring up in the hearts and lives of the young people at Zion.
The 20 somethings currently at Zion… well it’s a great group, and I love em… and I fully expect that some that have drifted away will re-engage, as we (as a congregation) say “you are important to us.
