An occasional message from the Reverend Bruce Reyes-Chow
Moderator of the 218th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).

August 12, 2008

Dear Friends,

I hope you are well and enjoying the summer months.
I write this in the midst of one of my annual continuing education events in beautiful Pacific Grove, CA. This is an event I have been coming to pretty much every year since I was ordained and is one that anchors my journey – not just in my ministry in this denomination, but as a child of God, striving to be faithful every day.

One of the best parts of this event is that people here are made up of an amazing array of ministry and personal contexts and experiences. I am always moved by the stories of service that are shared, not just because people are doing great things in the name of Jesus Christ, but because people, year after year after year, continue to be energized and inspired to be the hands, hearts, and minds of Christ in the world.
