My Friends in Christ,
When I was interviewing for this position, I often heard the search committee say to one another at the end of each interview, “I’ll see you on Sunday.” Each time, I felt a deep longing to say it too, to know that I would see them the next Sunday as part of this ECC community. With every conversation, that longing grew, not just to serve a church, but to belong to a people who gather faithfully, week after week, to be formed by God together in this corner of the Hill Country.
The season of Epiphany reminds us that God is revealed not only in grand moments, but in ordinary ones. In familiar words spoken again, in bread and wine shared, in the simple promise of showing up and seeing one another. Looking back, I can see how God was already at work in that repeated phrase, gently revealing a call that was coming into focus. What once felt like a hope I quietly carried, has become a grace I now live into.
Now that I finally get to say to all of you, “I’ll see you on Sunday,” my heart is bursting with gratitude. I am thankful for the light God has revealed here, for this community, and for the joy of walking together into whatever God is making known among us next.
In Christ’s Peace,
Christine+
