Dear adoptive church family,
I wanted to take this last opportunity to sincerely thank you all for how warmly you all have invited me into the rhythms of your community life this past year. Thanks to that welcome, this has been a really blessed time for me to both learn patterns of ministry and discern my own call. As I go home to New Mexico and continue my ordination process I hope to bring a bit of All Saints back with me. I've been inspired by the fact that you all are not just a church in this area, but a church for this area. Parish ministry means that we get to be the local embassy for the Kingdom of Heaven. This mindset has been evident in how our space and ministries serve not just ourselves but invite people in to encounter the reality of our king. So, keep up the good work of being a light on Ecclesall hill and I will try and do the same on the other side of the world.
In Christ,
your extremely grateful ministry trainee,
John “The American” Davis.
