Thank you for all of your support as I continue to grow into my pastoral identity. You may not even know that you are doing it in the moment but each way that I am involved in life of <!--more-->the church,\u00a0 even small conversations before the service, help me to grow. Thanks for being a teaching congregation. Also, a big thank you goes out to all those who make the cookie walk happen. That was a big effort and I was excited to be part of the process!<\/p>\n<p>In the coming months I look forward to connecting through small groups. We\u2019ll have two more small group gatherings: one on January 10<sup>th<\/sup> at 10am at John and Jan Liebenstein\u2019s house. Then on Sunday, January 11<sup>th<\/sup>, parents are invited to a small group conversation during the Sunday school hour at 9:15am. I\u2019ll also be leading a Lenten Bible Study. More details will be coming on that in January.<\/p>\n<p>This year is going to be full of big transitions for me and I look forward to the opportunities that I\u2019ll have to learn from you all, whether it be a one on one conversation, a small group or Bible study, or in worship together.
