“Rural Church Pastor’s Network.”
Great title for an effort to pull together rural church pastors. In a publishing world that provides information for pastors in larger urban centers, the rural church pastor often scrounges to find helpful resources. In a workshop world that provides large gatherings and approaches to churches well over double and triple the size of most rural churches, the rural church pastor just needs someone to speak to them as a fellow traveler.
On November 29th a number of us met in Rosetown. The contingent from Kindersley was the largest one – we had seven pastors there (with regrets from three others who were unable to attend). The day was best for relationships and sharing of thoughts on being a rural church pastor.
I guess I like the idea that church really is about trusting God and loving people. Rural church pastors know all about that!
And the picture I took on my cell phone! Well, this is sort of how rural churches work – things will fall into place sooner or later!
