| Ken's Corner: Along the Way |
June 2009
Along the Way
This Along the Way article takes a new twist. As I begin my sabbatical, I am deeply humbled not only by the willingness of the presbytery to make this possible, but I am also deeply touched by the public expression of support at the 69th Stated Presbytery Meeting at Reid Memorial Church on May 19th.
Given the context of the traumatic events affecting my family the past year, I see this sabbatical as another sign of the providential work of a loving God. The statement in our Guidelines for Sabbatical Leave seems to reinforce this sense. It states:
"A sabbatical is both an act of faith that God will sustain us through a period of reflection and changed activity and an occasion for recovery and renewal of vital energies."
Jane and I plan to pursue this to the maximum. The commitment that the presbytery leadership has made to light the multi-colored candle for us each day as they pray for us is very meaningful to me. Be assured that we will be doing the same for you.
As I begin this sabbatical, I go with the utmost confidence that the presbytery is in good hands. Edie Covert is a competent and compassionate colleague and will serve you capably as Acting General Presbyter (Note Edie's accompanying article in this newsletter). As I have said repeatedly, Northeast Georgia Presbytery is blessed with an excellent staff which functions as a supportive team. They are the best staff with whom I have ever worked, and they will serve you well this summer. In addition, we are blessed with talented and willing Ministry Team and Action Team Chairs and a knowledgeable and experienced Moderator of Presbytery.
My planned return date is Monday, August 17th. Thank you again for the wonderful gift. As our Mexican partners would say:
¡Dios les bendiga!
