Relieved to be back to full staff!
Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2019 9:54 amThis past week our new Associate Pastor started his ministry with my church. I’m much relieved! The position was vacant for that last six months and I’ve felt like a one armed paper hanger trying to keep up with everything.
It’s uncommon for there to be gaps like this in the Methodist church. But we are seriously short on clergy in Iowa. This young guy is coming to us from Duke Divinity School (UM related) and Simpson College, which is here in Indianola. Maybe I’ll get my day off a bit more often now.
