Transitions

At Discover Church in Brooklyn Park where I am now serving a new job transitions group has been started by Pastor Darrin Vick. While attending this group for pastoral care support and prayer I have been amazed at the outpouring of love, support, and expertise offered by members to each other. Discover member, Joe Axe, is facilitating this group, doing an excellent job of organizing topics of of interest and help to the group each week.

During this tough economic time people are really scrambling and pressured to get a new job for the sake of income and supporting families. At the same time those big questions come along such as "What gives my life meaning?" and "What is God calling me to do with the rest of my life?"

As strange as it may sound these tough economic times may be a great time for the church and its mission as well. What is my role in the church and its mission really all about? What really counts? What does it mean to be loving and generous in hard times?

I do not have answers to all these questions, but know and trust that our Lord is at work through us in the power of the Holy Spirit and the community of faith, the church.

If you are in a transition may God open your heart to be ministered to by others. If others around you are in transition, please reach out to listen and help as you are able.

By the way, this transitions group a t Discover Church meets every Tuesday morning from 8-9:00 a.m. Check out this church at www.discoverchurchnetwork.org.

Peace,
Pastor Durk
