Fresh Start 2018 01

Minutes for Mission 2018: Fresh Start - Our gifts for Mission & Service support new ministers.United Fresh Start is a program offered by the General Council Office through trained presbytery-based facilitators. The goal of the program is to nurture the pastoral relationship between a minister and key congregational leaders, especially at the beginning of a pastoral relationship after a new minister is called or appointed. Over two years, a facilitator works through pieces of the United Fresh Start curriculum with the minister and key congregational leaders to facilitate effective leadership, cooperation, mutuality, creative problem solving, and potential reductions in conflict.

“Hope” is the thing with feathers –

That perches in the soul –

And sings the tune without the words –

And never stops – at all….

Emily Dickenson

Welcome all to our service of worship here in the Maynooth Madawaska Pastoral Charge.

This is the first Sunday of the Church year,  the first Sunday of advent, when we begin our vigil, waiting with longing for the coming of the Son of God,  God is with us at Christmas and again into a world that desperately needs God’s hope, peace, joy and love.

Faithful God, as we journey on this road of life with you, there are times we feel that the way is too hard. And we wish we could go back to easier times. We grumble and complain and sometimes our neediness overwhelms us. Help us to trust that you will provide and give us the insight to recognize your hand in the blessings we find. Give us the faith we need to see this journey through. Amen.
