It’s been a year – this coming Sunday marks a year since I began as your Transitional Pastor, on June 1, 2025. We’ve been through a lot, accomplished a lot, learned a lot about one another and about our risen Savior, prayed a lot, celebrated a lot, and given thanks to God for 365 days, together. As my contract expires, the session and I have agreed to keep things going, on a modified basis, until your next pastor is called. I will continue to serve as the moderator of session and will preach and lead worship once each month, normally on the second Sunday of the month. I will also continue to be available for pastoral care and hospital visits, as well as fill any administrative roles that would be helpful during this interim period.
So I will see you on Sunday, I’ll be back again on June 14, for worship and the session meeting, and I’ll be conducting the upcoming memorial services for both Phil and Bonnie. I’m so grateful for our year together and am looking forward to all that lies ahead. See you on Sunday!

There will be a 30-minute training session for those who would like to explore serving as a worship leader … this Sunday, May 31, immediately after the service.
We will meet in the narthex and go to an available room.
Being One
by Dave Nock
This past Sunday Pastor Ray, in his sermon, mentioned Being One. (Yes, Ray, I was listening). This started me thinking. A few years ago, the Army had a marketing phrase, Army of One. This was not one person; it was an organization working together as one to achieve an overall goal.
For Priest Lake Presbyterian we are one congregation that works together for the greater good of all and to achieve Gods desires. For emergency management, the focus is coordination and collaboration. Emergency management, working with all agencies and organizations, has to be one. Coordination and collaboration with all partners is vital for overall success. Emergency management has very little in the way of resources. But working with other agencies and organizations, as one, a lot can be achieved.
Priest Lake Presbyterian is much the same way. As an organization, we have limited resources. However, with all the congregation members we have a lot of capabilities. That capability represents being one working together to achieve greater good.
I also want to offer a prayer for Phil Hereford and Bonnie Shapbell. Both have been long term pillars in this church. They are now in God’s hands.
