Six weeks down!

I can’t believe it has already been six weeks since I started working as the assistant pastor at Ramseur Wesleyan Church (RWC). It has been a full and eventful six weeks; I have been to camp meeting for the district, district conference, preached twice, taught some leadership courses for the youth ministry, attended LBA meetings, chaired a Christian Education Board meeting, worked with different areas on what fall ministries will look like around RWC and started setting up shop in my new office.

I know see RWC as home and the congregation as family, it is a church about 200 to 215 on a normal weekend. She has two services a contemporary and a traditional, with sunday school sandwiched between them. The sunday school ministry is bursting, there was about 150 some people last weekend. The church has a great heart and a deep passion for fellowship, where a normal church in america would greet for about two minutes each sunday morning this church greets for about six or eight. They love to fellowship and greet each other, but it does not end there. They want to reach out with love to the community, through their children’s and youth ministries, and along with a partnership with others churches in the area to run the Ramseur food pantry.

I am not sure what God has planned for this church or myself, but I know God has blessed these people and I am thankful that He has allowed me to join the staff here at RWC.
