Dear Church Family,
Over the a past few weeks, I have been introduced to so many of you, received a small snap- shot of the ministries that you are a part of and attended some leadership team meetings. I am encouraged as I see what God is doing in the life of this church and sustaining us for further generations.
If you don't already know - let me tell you a little bit about myself and our family. Anna & I moved to Albuquerque in 2018 from Northeast Ohio where we are both originally from. We are married 15 yrs. and between the two of us we have 3 grown children and a total of 9 grandchildren.
Those memories of God's goodness are what I hold close and recall when I have a tendency to doubt or fell inadequate to do what God has called me to do.
We were not planning on moving to New Mexico when we did. Anna retired as Business Director in the Developmental Disability field and we casually mentioned moving to Albuquerque and within a few months we were here. As I mentioned previously, I wasn't looking to move to St Paul's either - but here we are. There are so many little nuggets that are now memories of how God orchestrated and put together the path that lead us to serve St Paul's.
Those memories of God's goodness are what I hold close and recall when I have a tendency to doubt or fell inadequate to do what God has called me to do.
I invite you to do the same when you doubt or feel discouraged or feel like you have nothing to offer, recall those memories of God's goodness and how He worked previously in your life. He is not going to fail you (us). He promises to always be with us in all things.
Thank you for your love - your support - your service and your faithfulness to the One who loves YOU!!
Pastor Joe
