Pastor's Messages

In Gratitude

There are many images that flood my mind and heart as I contemplate the beginning of another year, as we continue to walk, work and build our community here at Good Shepherd. First I have to express to all of you the gratefulness and honor I feel in being a pastor-servant of this faith community. On December 1rst., despite, or rather, through the storm, many of us came together and I officially became your sixth pastor here at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd. It is truly a celebration of joy as we continue to write a new page in the history of our faith community and the spirited way we are embodying God's word of hope and solidarity.  

Hay muchas imagenes que colorean mis pensamientos y corazón, al meditar durante esta temporada de preparación para la celebración de la navidad. Quiero dar mi sinceros agradecimientos a todas las personas que han sido y son parte en este caminar de la palabra, siendo consecuentes con nuestras convicciones de ser fermento para un mundo donde quepan muchos mundos. El primero de diciembre ustedes me han llamado a ser el sexto pastor dentro de la historia de la "Iglesia Luterana del Buen Pastor". Es en verdad un honor poder ser su servidor y compartir la tarea de construir y facilitar espacios donde la dignidad de todo ser humano se promueva, donde la palabra de liberación se practique y en donde reine la compasión.
Gracias. Gracias. Gracias.
