EPISTAL
Although only four months have passed since I have moved to St. Johnsbury, I feel like I have been here for a full year in this new community. This feeling has not a negative implication. Rather positive!
My family has well settled down and we are gradually becoming to enjoy our city (?) life in this town. I have been acquainted with people more and more in the church as well as outside of the church, as I participate in local community events.
And I also found many interesting places in our communitysuch as coffee shops, restaurants, libraries, fitness center, and even a swimming pool, which enrich my personal time and daily routine.
Walking our town center, watching parades and festivals, sitting and singing at the Danville Fall Concert, I pondered the meaning of ministry.
Ministry is making connections. Doing ministry is building bridges – the bridge between God and the world, between one church and its neighbor church, between the church and the local community, and between people in the church and people outside the church.
Church ministry purposes intrinsically to spread the message of love, which may bring forth a harmonious peaceful living together in and through the name of God.
We Christians are called to commit to building this loving relationship, intimate friendships and compassionate companionship.
In that sense, we all are ministers, not just pastor.
Therefore I invite you.
Let us place small stones on our path of spiritual journey.
Our God will miraculously and mysteriously change pebbles to steppingstones, steppingstones to bridges of revival.
With Love,
Your Pastor Kyu
