SUBSCRIBE \ ABOUT  \ DONATE \ CONTACT Presbyterian Outlook COVID-19 news & resources Dear Outlook readers, For the past 10 years, my time with the Presbyterian Outlook has been more than work — it’s been a calling, a ministry and a joyful partnership with you, those serving Christ’s church in countless faithful ways. This is my last week with the Outlook — I have accepted a new call to serve as the Director of Communications for Worship Times, and look forward to a new adventure serving congregations in new ways! It has been a privilege to collaborate with so many creative contributors during my time with the Outlook. And, I have been grateful for the many phone calls and emails from all of you who have shared how the Outlook has helped you serve the church and told me stories about the many ways the Spirit is moving in your ministry context. What a blessing it has been to live out our connectional church this way!  The Outlook is a small but mighty team of people committed to excellence and service, and it has been an honor to serve among them. I leave you in their very capable hands and look forward to continuing to serve the church in new ways. As the connected Body of Christ, I know our paths will cross again. Remember: Check our website or follow us on social media to get materials as soon as they are released. You'll find weekly "Looking into the lectionary" reflections, all of the Outlook's COVID-19 news and stories, and our new worship resources here.
