GREER’S POST
Hello, friends! Greer here (and rhyming apparently). This past semester has been so much NEW. I am stepping into the youth pastor role here at UBC, exploring a new role at Fabled Bookshop & Café, recently moved into a new apartment, and leaving behind the Baylor bubble as graduation rapidly approaches. On Friday, I will graduate from Baylor University’s George W. Truett Theological Seminary with my Master of Divinity… which is a fancy way of saying I spent a lot of time in school studying pastor things. My therapist and I have frequently explored how scary the newness can be and how leaving behind what once was can feel big. Yet, I am filled with such deepest hope as I finish my schoolwork and begin this work. UBC, I see you as a space of deep hope and safety when the world around us roils, and it is beautiful to see. It is an honor to be a part of this work that you all do. My time in school may be ending, but I am very much looking forward to learning from you as a congregation and walking with our middle and high school students. Already having observed and now attending youth group, I am so eager to get to know them, be a welcoming space, and support their journeys through their time at UBC. Quite a few UBC friends share my taste in books, so if you ever find me working at Fabled, come say hi, and I will talk your ear off about whatever I’m reading, fantasy or nonfiction or poetry (right now, I’m reading the latest Claire McKeever-Burgett and Holly Black books… in case you were wondering). I hope the books we read teach us to see our own stories in the story of God, just like our call to worship every week says. Thank you for welcoming me into the story of UBC as you have so kindly! I am so happy that I finally get to begin this part of life with you as a church family! Here’s to the next page and a radiant summer!
