Welcome to our new minister, Pastor George!A Greeting from Pastor George
This is the day that the Lord has made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it! – Psalm 118:24 These are my favorite words for greeting the congregation on a Sunday morning. For indeed, God makes us and the world we live in for rejoicing! Here are some more things to know about me. I love people. I love the church. I love the Bible. And I love Jesus. I believe that we are all magnificent creations of the divine. As followers of Jesus, I believe that God’s love and grace are made known to us in our imperfection, vulnerability and pain. We are invited to share these with each other, just as we are called to stand with and defend the most vulnerable and hurting people among us. I believe that God, as revealed to us through scripture, is a God of liberation and transformation. The more we let go of our own way, and together discern and respond to God’s leading, the more each of us, the church, and the world are transformed. Indeed, “This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!” Here are some additional facts about me. I was born on the Philadelphia Main Line, raised in Connecticut and Florida, and have a meaningful connection to this Sakonnet Peninsula. My grandparents had a farm on the Sakonnet River where I spent my childhood summers! I went to college in New Orleans, served as an officer in the Navy for seven years, and lived in Hawaii for twenty years, which is where I met my wife Lourdes, and we adopted our daughter Abby. Upon leaving the Navy, I led organizations that served street youth in Waikiki, and people living with HIV/AIDS, then was hired by a large Congregational church in Honolulu to lead them in mission. With the church, I founded a ministry to homeless people in a nearby beach park, and there experienced my call to ministry. Off to seminary in Berkeley, California, we went, then continued east to lead churches in New Britain and Simsbury, Connecticut. Lourdes and I enjoy travel and hiking. I love to read, write, and listen to the birds. I couldn’t be more delighted to now serve United Congregational Church of Little Compton! Let us rejoice together! |
