For my first newsletter note, I wanted to take a moment to say, “Thank you, Parma Greece UCC.”
Thank you for receiving me with open arms despite how difficult it must have been, and perhaps still is, for you to do so.
Thank you for responding to my first few messages with such warmth. I do not take it for granted.
Thank you for being willing to hear my suggestions even though I am by far the youngest person at most meetings I attend.
Thank you for the offerings of help and support that I have received from so many of you. You have made my transition into this position both seamless and comfortable.
Both I and my children have been struck by your collective warmth and generosity. I cannot overstate how grateful I am and how blessed I feel to have this opportunity to serve you as your pastor. For as long as I am with you, I will give you all I have to give; and I know that you know that.
I am excited to discover with you what the Lord will do in and through PGUCC in the next year. I sense strongly that the Lord has arranged for us to run the next leg of our respective races together, and has done so for specific reasons. I can’t say I know precisely what those reasons are yet! But I know they are beautiful, and that I wait with hopeful anticipation to see them revealed among us.
Blessing and peace be with you all,
Pastor Bradley
