Novice Preacher

I'm posting this mostly to introduce myself to my new role as a church leader. I am about six weeks away from the start of my internship with Prairie Star Ministries in Southwest Minnesota, but I have had the opportunity to provide pulpit supply to a few churches closer to the Twin Cities before my internship starts. It has been a good experience, learning what goes into preparing a sermon and the importance of context; knowing what a congregation needs to hear with regard to a particular text from the Bible.

Anna and I are moving to a beautiful area, with lots of expansive prairie and massive farms. I am looking forward to meeting new people and working with them to discover together what the Holy Spirit is up to and how we can participate in God's activity. In the meantime, I rely heavily on prayer.
