A Message from Pastor
The Game Plan
You may have noticed that your new pastor is different from your former pastor. I’m under 6 feet tall, barely in my 30’s, don’t own a set of golf clubs and have never had a successful radio show. And while no one has said anything to me along these lines, I can’t help but think that there’s an unspoken thought going through the minds of the members of our church: “What’s this new guy going to change?”
In my relatively short tenure as a pastor, I’ve seen pastors come into
congregations and try to remake them instantly into their image; and I’ve seen pastors come into congregations and do virtually nothing other than fill the pulpit on Sunday morning.
I want to take a few moments of your time and give you a sense of what I plan on doing for the first few months of my call to be your pastor at Zion.
· Preach the gospel!
· Teach the Word of God in its truth and purity.
· Visit those who are unable to worship with us, bringing them Christ in Word and Sacrament.
· Get to know the people of Zion better by getting into your homes and inviting you into mine (and Alissa’s).
· Listen to what you have to say about the direction and future ministry of the church.
· Help in the search for a new secretary once Dianne retires later this year.
· Pray for you, by name, at least several times every week.
· Increase the use of technology in the overall life of the church.
· Focus attention on the youth ministry.
If I haven’t already spoken with you in person or over the phone, I am looking forward to doing so soon!
It is an honor to be your pastor. Please keep Alissa and me in your prayers as we get used to our surroundings and seek the Lord’s direction on how best to shepherd, serve, and lead Zion Lutheran Church in knowing Christ and making Him known in Bridgeville and beyond.
All the best,
In Christ,
Pastor Duncan McLellan
