Pastor's Message

Pastor Leonard Hummel

Happy Easter to All of You.

I am grateful to be your pastor through the Easter Season---a church season that lasts through all of May and into the First Week of June.  One website describes the meaning of the Easter Season this way:

It's a time for Christians to reflect on the meaning of Jesus's death and resurrection.

As your pastor, I look forward to sharing with you in my sermons the meaning of Jesus’s death and resurrection for you and for the world.

In this Easter Season, I would like to take a moment to thank all you members of the Neighbors in Christ Parish for all that you do to maintain and care for your congregations.  Your stewardship of your own time and talents always helps me in my ministry to you.  In this message, I won’t specifically thank any of you individually or as a group because I don’t want to leave out any individuals or groups in my thanks.  I’ll simply say: Thanks to all of you for all that you do.

Pastor Leonard Hummel
