A Word From Bill

Staff Thoughts

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
 
It is with great joy that my wife and I have responded to God’s call on our lives as we serve alongside you and your students here at Christ United Methodist Church. It will be an amazing journey to follow Christ with you in the years to come. Jesus called the disciples from their occupations to follow him. In fellowship with him they learned the big picture that God has for his people.Through his example and his teaching Jesus taught the disciples to be servants. Jesus said “I did not come here to be served, but to serve others, and to give my life as a ransom for many”  (Matthew 20:28). I pray that this would be our aim as we walk nearer with him along the way. Blessings on your journey!
 
Your fellow traveler,
Bill Blair
