Two key terms in the United Methodist system are "connected church" and "continuity." A pastor who has been part of our lives for the last nine years and saw us through building an entire new church facility moves on to where God leads her and a new pastor whom God has called to lead this church forward moves into that office to lead KUMC where God wants it to go from here.
As you Disciple Bible study folk know, God chose Moses to lead the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt and into the 40-year journey to the promise land. But just as they were to cross into that land, God called Joshua, not Moses, to lead them in.
This is such a time. Regardless of who the pastor is, let us all seek God's will as God leads us all toward the kingdom.
