This is my first day in-between transitional minister positions. Transitioning as a transitional, you might say. October is an odd time of year to jump from one church to another, so it may take some time. But it was well worth it to stay at Knox Naperville as Acting Head of Staff for the summer. A God thing, to slide me into place well before I knew I would be needed in that role. And then to pull me out early, when co-pastors Becca & Dave Bruner were ready for the job. It was truly my delight.
So what’s next? Now my options seem endless.
