One of my major priorities for my first month in Weston was to find a spiritual mentor. I believe that there is a lot to gain in mentoring relationships. In order for me to serve as a good mentor to others I believe I should be spiritually mentored as well. Jeff Brinkman is the Senior Pastor at Woods Chapel UMC in Lee's Summit. When I met with Jeff at his church he introduced me to every member on his staff. And I noticed with every introduction came a "thank you" or a compliment to most of the folks he came into contact with. Before I knew who Jeff was I had several other pastors tell me about his spiritual soundness and his positive attitude. That's why I'm excited that Jeff is my mentor.
I believe Weston UMC will benefit from this relationship as much as I will. And I also believe that many folks in our church could benefit from one another. Could you be a mentor? Who would you mentor? Consider asking God to help you answer those two questions this week:)
