ACNA Provincial Council Address

June 15, 2021

For we know that in all things God works for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

In the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ!

It a joy to be here at The Cove and have you here in person for this 2021 Provincial Council meeting. The Provincial Team was wondering if we should meet in person, and I am so glad the Lord led us to be here. We actually sold out the housing! We are saddened that our Canadian sisters and brothers still cannot be present, but they are with us online.  Let us remember to pray for them as they are still locked down pretty tight. Please know that we are praying for you and look forward to seeing your faces soon.

What a year this has been! The Lord has been ever-present. It has been challenging, but Jesus is still Lord, and He is still on the Throne.

Most of you here probably have a car, and like I do, drive most days in order to do what you have to do in your life. When I crank up my car each morning and back out of the garage, before I can look out of the wind-shield in front, I have to look in the rear-view mirror to see what’s behind me. As I look in the rear-view mirror of the Province during this past year, I see a number of things to call to your to attention.
