A Letter from Our Interim Priest
Dear Saints of St. Bede’s, I am looking forward to beginning the next chapter of the story of St. Bede’s Episcopal Church in Port Orchard, WA on Sunday! As I join with you on this journey, I realize that there are a lot of questions and mixed emotions. The Rev. Dr. Jeff Sharp has served St. Bede’s well as your supply priest for many months. There are always questions that always arise when a new priest joins a congregation. Know that it’s a two-way street, we (the clergy) have similar questions when we accept and begin a new call. From my previous experiences serving as interim vicar/rector with other congregations, I’ve come to the conclusion that all these questions, all the anxiety about a new priest / a new congregation will be worked out if we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit. One of the most important Scripture passages in my life is: For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope (Jeremiah 29:11). While none of us knows what the future holds, we do know that our God is with us and cares for us! I look forward to getting to know you, to work with you, and to help make the presence of Christ stronger in the community of Port Orchard through the example of our community living in the Gospel. I haven’t worked out which day of the week, other than Sunday, I will be at St. Bede’s, but I do hope that over the coming months we can find time to meet for coffee and conversation, and I can learn more about St. Bede’s, your experiences here, and your hopes for the future. I look forward to getting to know you both personally as well as a congregation. I ask that as we begin our time together that you keep me in your prayers and be assured that you are and will be in mine. With blessings, Craig |
