Do not give up!

Do not give up!

“And let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
                                                                                                                                        Galatians 6:9

Cornerstone Church has seen many changes, challenging times, financial troubles as well as joys, growth, and new forms of community. I am confident in the Holy Spirit’s ability working with you, God’s co-workers in His church, to continue and change for there to be true renewal on this corner. Pastoral transitions are hard. This verse reminds pastors and congregations that ministry is a long-term endeavor, and to remain steadfast in their calling. God’s work, plans, and the fruit from both take time. Keep going! Remain in God’s love and in the Spirit’s prompting. Be open to what the Lord may show you as a new path. He has promised us good, a hope, and a future. I am grateful to have served in this creative church plant and congregational revitalization with you. While I will be leaving to serve at St. Petersburg First UMC as associate pastor, my prayers and love are with you. God will reap a harvest; keep doing good!
 
In Christ,
Rev. Elyse Nielsen
