I trust that you have been enjoying the CNY break and spending good time with your family and relatives. We have begun a process of planning for the future. As mentioned earlier, during this 50th Anniversary year, we want to pray and discern the direction and growth of MPCC for the next ten years. We are aware that, given the nature of church ministry, future planning and projections are always complex. It will not be an easy task. This is an exercise where the journey is jus

“Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”— Psalms 61:2 This line from the Psalm spoke to me at a critical moment in my ministry, when I was in my forties. I was younger then—full of energy, ideas, and optimism. The parish I was pastoring felt alive with possibility.
