My first call after graduating seminary was to serve as Associate Pastor at Central Christian Church: the longest continually meeting Protestant congregation in Dallas, Texas. This year, the congregation is celebrating its first 150 years of ministry. That celebration included numerous events.
So What?
Take a few minutes to remember your first experience of church – whether you were a child, a teen, or an adult. How did that congregation help you on your journey of faith? What people and what experiences remain most memorable?
For those readers who are clergy who serve in parish, think also of your first call. Reflect on the same questions.
