Beloved let us love one another because Love is from God and everyone that Loves knows God because God is Love. 1 John 4:7-8
It was May 1973, when I climbed up into the Wallowa Mountains in North Eastern Oregon. I was with three buddies and the snow had not melted in the high mountains. It felt like we almost froze to death in that spring blizzard. We hiked all day in the five feet of snow sheltering the wild mountains from civilization. I took a day and climbed a granite mountain of nearly 10,000 feet. As I stood there I just knew there was a God and I promised to serve Jesus Christ with all my life. At that moment as the wind gusted threatening to make me fall off that beautiful peak I knew that Jesus called me to start a great caring network led by men and woman that would be like knights in shining armor reaching for Gods best.
This weekend I want to honor those idealistic Christ followers that God allowed me to serve with.
Please sign the kudo board for me because they are making it into a book for me to always remember you forever. And my great-grand kids will get to treasure this book someday.
This Sunday February 25th 2024 will be my last time to address Washington Cathedral as the lead pastor. I will have short message about building a great caring network. Many of you might have guessed my subject. I am very excited to have a young gifted pastor to hand leadership over to. Rev. Mark Nsimbi is anointed by God to lead our church into the future and I will do everything I can do to help him realize his potential before God.
If you can make it this Sunday either in person or on line. It will be one of the most inspirational times of our lives.
Your friend for the rest of my life,
Pastor Tim White
