Who I am....an updated version...

In March 2017, I put together a Who I am post to this blog to describe myself and my ministry.
As I continue to discern my first call to a church, I thought it was time to update that post.


Who I am...

 As I am looking for my First Ordained Call, how would I describe myself as a pastor?

  I am someone who...

          ...is a graduate of Union Presbyterian Seminary...

          ...is excited by preaching...

          ....likes to take on a challenge...

          ...reaches out to the needs of the community...

                                     ...which includes forming a prayer group...
