LETTER FROM
THE SENIOR PASTOR
Letter from the Senior Pastor
January 2010

Reverend
Dr. Ted Klein
Senior Pastor
Church on the Hill, Swedenborgian

Dear Members and Friends of the Church on the Hill:

The beginnings of a new year provide an opportunity to reflect on our life journeys and how the journey of each of us connects with journeys of many others. Our lives are bound up with God, other people, and all of creation..

Think about the past year in your life. How has it been? What has been important in it? What joyful? What difficult? What connections with others have been especially important to you? How have you felt in your connection with God? Think about how all of this will affect this new year in your life. What do you especially want to continue? Are there any changes you wish for in your life? Each day is another day, and each year is another year.

For the church, a new calendar year is coming after a church year has been underway for months and we have just passed through observing Christmas. The new calendar year provides another chance for us to consider our church community and what parts each of you have in it.

Love and Blessings to Each of You,
Ted
