Beyond the Pulpit 11.17.24
Good Morning CUMC!
I look forward to being back with you this morning! A special THANK YOU to Will Hasley who taught the Adult Grow Group and Doug Gaskell who preached in my absence last week! I am very grateful for such solid leadership here at Crozet UMC!
Last Sunday, beyond the pulpit, I was invited back to be a part of the 100th Anniversary of Westhampton UMC, the congregation I served for 15 years prior to coming to Crozet UMC.
While it was great to be back and reconnect with that flock, I am excited about my first fall season, Advent, and Christmas here at Crozet UMC. Planning is well underway, and there are lots of opportunities for everyone to connect with our ministries! I encourage you to invite family, friends, and neighbors to join in as we celebrate the gifts of God here at Crozet UMC.
