I want to wish you all a happy New Year.
This web site is about eight months old now. It has been designed to be a place where rural pastors/parishioners can gather and find encouragement and idea’s for their church. My hope is that this can gather some steam in 2010, and more of you will share thoughts, concerns, joys, ideas, stories, etc.
So, I ask from all of you, please share. That is what I’d like to see in this new year.
Likewise, I ask you, are there things you would like to see on this web site? Let me know so that we can develop this into a very interactive sight.
God bless you all. Dan

Hi Pr. Dan. I'm a second year seminarian (also second career) at LTSG. I have discovered a love for small town/rural ministry and am doing a concentration in that. I will recommend this site to the pastor I'm working with at a small, but growing rural congregation. God's peace.
Ivory, yes, please share this site with anyone you feel would benefit from it. I'm really hoping this can become a place where rural/small town pastors and parishioners can gather to share joys, sorrows, challenges and victories. God bless, Dan
Hi Pr. Dan,
I have shared this with Pr. Susan McCarthy, with whom I worked in the fall semester. She wil be taking a look as soon as she has a chance. By the way, my login in ivory, but my name is Ivy.
God's peace.
