Last night, I attended a Bible Study that was hosted at Covenant United Methodist Church in Fond du Lac. My original intent was to sit back and take in what was going on. About 15 minutes into the study, there was a phone call that was forwarded to the room in which we were meeting. A member of my church that was volunteering there gave me the phone after talking to this man for a few minutes.
There was a gentleman on the line that had a theological question. He called the church looking for someone to talk to. He was struggling with an issue that happened eight years ago that he recently remembered. He was new to the area and hadn't found a church yet. He found me :). We talked about his question. I'm not sure how much help I provided, but he did say that by talking with someone about it, it helped him figure out a solution. I offered my own thoughts on how me might be able to be at peace with his concern.
This week I got so caught up in the administrative portions of my pastoral role that I appreciated an opportunity to offer pastoral care.
