I can’t believe another year has passed here at Compass Point. I enjoy serving with you here at our church, and I am looking forward to what God has in store in the coming year. I couldn’t imagine a better environment for my family. I am watching my son and daughter grow so quickly, and knowing that each week they are loved and cared for makes me happy to call Compass Point’s Kerns campus home.
As the Campus Pastor here, I have been thrilled to meet so many new faces as they come to our campus each week. Can you believe that since we began using our connection cards, we have welcomed more than 60 new individuals through our doors? The best part is that each one of those people have names and stories, and for some reason or another they have decided to visit our Kerns Campus. They have met many of you and you may not have even noticed. One of my new friends came to Kerns for the first time and was simply smiled at by one of you. He reported back to me the following week that he wasn’t feeling all that great, and that simple smile made him feel like he mattered! What a difference we can make in the lives of people as Christ’s hands and feet here on earth.
I also have the Privilege of providing pastoral support to our Young Adults, and what I love most about this age group is that each time I meet with them I am challenged to think differently as we all learn and grow together. This coming year we have a challenge ahead as we roll up our sleeves and work at making 2011 the year that Axis really begins to take off. This Summer I look forward to building relationships with an eye to September and the new year ahead.
I want to thank all the volunteers that make Kerns Campus a great place to serve and worship. From the Children’s ministries to youth, to worship, and all the ministries that meet during the week to provide space for all of us to grow as followers of Christ. I also want to add a special thanks to the volunteers who serve outside of our church, especially the ones who make such a great impact right here in our neighbourhood. (the motel ministry, the food pantry, and the many other ways you serve) Guided by your faith your desire to serve is truly inspiring.
I am truly thankful to serve as your Kerns Campus Pastor, and I can’t wait to see what God has in store.
Blessings,
