Lane Glaze continues to be a pastor I admire for the many faithful ways he lives out Christ's mission to the world. His work with One Eleuthera Foundation has made an impact in the various communities of the island, and upon people like me who have been privileged to spend time there. I would not be who I am today if it were not for the three month summer service opportunity Lane helped to create, which gave me the time and space to accept my call into ministry. I'm so glad our church family will get to spend time with him this Sunday in worship and during a special program afterwards. I pray we are all enriched by what he has to share and that our collective spirit may be lifted, like on eagles' wings, by what we learn during this intentional time of missional discernment.

Gratefully,

- David
