Friends, I am honored that to serve as the pastor of College Avenue United Methodist Church. You are a wonderful congregation and have enveloped me with love and support. There are always challenges in life and ministry but I have recently received numerous reminders of the presence, power, help, and encouragement that the Holy Spirit provides us. With a thankful heart, I do my best to heed the Spirit’s prompting, but I know I sometimes fall short. Please let me know if you find that I fail to show you the attention, patience, compassion, and understanding you need.
