PASTOR'S NOTE

I write with mixed emotions because of my decision to resign the ministry of Tucker Street Church.  My heart overflows with joy as I reflect on the 21 ½ years of ministry that we shared.  Wonderful memories of significant service and life-changing events fill my mind.  Recalling the faces of those with whom we’ve worked and served bring an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, humility, and gratitude.  Carol and I grieve leaving the people endeared to us by years of shared ministry.  We believe that God has led in this decision and that the Lord will be honored by the outcome.

Tucker Street Church exists as a great successful experiment in grace and love.  We believe that people can be united with God only through faith in Christ and that in Christ they can be one with others.  No other foundation of unity exists outside of Jesus Christ.  Through the power of Jesus, believers can love each other beyond the walls of personality differences, personal preferences, racial diversities, socio-economic dissimilarities, and/or theological opinions.  Jesus Christ seeks to stand at the center of our lives, relationships, and church so as to fill us with Divine meaning, purpose, love, and joy.  Jesus knocks, but each of us must open the door.

As Carol and I await God’s direction, we stand absolutely confident that the Holy Spirit who guides our steps will also direct the future of Tucker Street Church.  It is my sincere hope that each member and friend of TSC will be an active part in building that future.

May grace and peace abound in you and your family’s life, as well as in the collective life of Tucker Street Church.  Come be a part of the future.  Impact this community.  Help shape eternity.

Love, grace, and peace,

Bob
