“A Minister Forever…”

In the Catholic and Anglican ordinations there are the words “you shall be a minister forever…” In the Puritan tradition from which our church governance springs forth, a minister’s position derives from their temporary relationship to a specific congregation. I shall be a minister here (not forever, but) until July 31, 2020. This will be a service to reflect on our mutual expectations and desires; to acknowledge our imperfections and celebrate our strengths and our interdependence.
