Dear Search Committee,
Welcome to my blog! I hope this page will help you get a
sense of who I am and will be a tool for your discernment in your search for
pastoral leadership. This blog was originally created as an assignment for my
public theology course at Chicago Theological Seminary. Most of the early posts
were subjects that were assigned by my professor. I have continued to blog occasionally
as time allows. I have kept up with my sermon links so you have all the newest
sermons available. If you are viewing from a mobile device, you will have to
scroll down and click view web version for access to my sermon links.
Some of my outside interests are singing and playing tennis.
I am a trained first soprano, but I haven’t kept up with my voice as I should
have. I will occasionally participate in choir, but I mostly just karaoke. I
haven’t played tennis in a while either. I have participated in adult leagues
in the past and my intentions are to get back into some kind of league or lessons.
I love all kinds of tennis: singles, doubles and mixed doubles. I like to watch
it on television and hope to get to be in the stands for the US Open someday.
I am a very busy mom and wife in a very sport centered family. My boys play baseball, football and basketball. My husband also coaches all three. If they are not playing sports, we are watching sports on TV. My husband, however, is the only one who will watch tennis with me.
My blog name, Julie On the Creek was named because I was
born into the United Church of Christ congregation, Spring Creek UCC. They have
baptized and confirmed me, and they have encouraged and shaped me as I have
been on the path towards God’s call. As I move forward in ministry, there will
be a piece of them within me as I embrace a new congregation to grow in faith
with.
May God lead us and guide us along the way….
Blessings,
Pastor Julie
