There are many things we can’t control in this life, and this one of those things. Our pastor, the Reverend Joy Ledoux has been re-assigned by the United Methodist Church to a church in the Emory area. Having grown up Methodist, re-assignment is something that happens frequently to the preachers in my life, but I am still sometimes dismayed by the decisions that are made.
We joined Winters Chapel UMC earlier this year. From our very first visit, we felt so welcomed there and could tell this was one special group of people. Lucye was baptized by Rev. Joy with water from the Jordan River. Rev. Joy always left us with a thought-provoking message during each service. She has inspired us to leave our comfort zone and serve in ways we’ve never considered before. But our journey with Rev. Joy had only just begun…and there lies the problem. As I told her on Sunday, our loss is certainly someone else’s gain. I know she will help others in their journey… We will miss you and Jim! The Loverins….
