Dear reader,

Thank you for subscribing! In addition to looking forward as 2025 began, I spent last month looking back and remembering three Churches. These sanctuaries were special points in my journey as a pastor, and they shaped my life and ministry in a host of wonderful ways. Also, as my country looked forward to swearing in a new President, I looked back on the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. Like the three Churches I owe a great deal to his noble example, which has further helped to shape me in wonderful ways.

As 2025 unfolds, I pray that you would look back and see the good things that have shaped you. May their memories bring you a sense of gratitude for the days now past, and may they bring you a sense of joy and excitement for the days ahead. And I hope that you would find some joy as you read the latest posts from my website, which can found in this newsletter.

Blessings,
-Scotty
