We are better together.

Presbytery Ponderings
Greetings to the Saints of Mission Presbytery!
Y'all continue to amaze me. From the vantage point of this office, I get to see young leaders being developed through the Midwinters Planning Team and Youth Coordinating Committee. I get to be part of deep conversation regarding the futures our congregations and pastoral leaders. I get to watch dozens of volunteers give of their energy, intelligence, imagination and love to further God's mission in the southern fifth of Texas. I get to visit, pray, drink coffee, break bread, counsel, be counseled, and laugh a lot with you all. I get to think and dream and write. I get to work with some amazing colleagues, both here in the office and among our congregations. And every so often, I catch a little glimpse of what God may be bringing to pass among us. Amazing!
I also get to witness the talent among us - which means that today I want to tell you about a couple of new books produced by our colleagues.
