A Family Moment

The next step in our pastoral transition is to ask the Lord one simple question: are we supposed to ask Foursquare to consider Josh and Justine as the next pastors of Lake Samm? As most of you know by now, we do not vote on a new pastor. Instead, following the Biblical pattern our new Pastor will be appointed by Foursquare’s District Head, Dave Veach. This provides us with a great check on our sense of the what the Lord is leading, i.e. as happens, we could miss what God is actually leading because we’re so close to the situation. Having a person anointed by God for their ordained role, Dave, protects us by him either confirming or checking our sense of the Lord’s leading. So, this week, we will seek His will in prayer and then ask some questions of Josh, Justine and JJ to see if it helps bring clarity to us. I love this process because of how it gives us the best possible chance of getting this extremely important decision right. Very much look forward to seeing you there!
