Pastor's Page

Picture
This Page is Under Construction and will be updated soon.

I was talking with my new neighbor the other day and when I mentioned that I recently was appointed pastor at Marvin UMC, she replied:  “ I used to live near that church and I passed by it every day on the way to work.  It seems to be an active congregation.”  I assured her that yes, indeed, Marvin UMC is very active.  The congregation is vibrant and seeking new ways to reach people with the good news of the gospel.  They are taking to heart the words my predecessor Rev. Eizabeth Ackerman wrote on this page.

 “Our work is not done until we teach the next generation about our living God in Jesus Christ. This straight-talking, table-flipping, yet forgiving man changed the world forever. How can we let the story of Jesus Christ as both human and divine go untold? We live in a world of high tech and low touch when Christ was all about touch. Therefore, the Marvin faith community is all about touch, too. We seek to connect with those who are lost, lonely, and unloved. We offer Jesus Christ as their Gateway to Hope. We begin by studying and learning together so that we have a laser-sharp focus on God in Christ. As we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we overflow with love and serve our neighbors with joy and thanksgiving. Hope is our future. Hope guides our next steps. Hope is our connection with God in Christ.”

Amen and amen!  With joy and hope we’re excited about where God is leading us next!
