Pastoral Letter

Pastor Yohan's October 2024 Letter

 October is Pastor Appreciation Month. It’s a blessing to be remembered as a thankful presence in someone’s life. Monona UMC still feels new to me, and I have much to learn.  Building deeper relationships takes time, but I’m grateful for meaningful conversations and gradually deepening connections at this church. Someone shared with me that Northern and  Southern cultures differ. Northerners tend to respond slower and reserve emotional expressions. I’m still learning and adapting to Northern culture.

October 2024 Pastoral Letter

Fall has arrived in Wisconsin. Many people have told me that their favorite season in  Wisconsin is fall, and I can understand why. Wisconsin has numerous breathtakingly beautiful places. My family and I have explored some of them. The changing seasons remind me of how beautiful and faithful our heavenly Father is. God is at work, even when we can't notice it. Good things are constantly unfolding in God's hands. That's why we shouldn't be discouraged when faced with challenges that seem insurmountable. Our God is good,  beautiful, merciful, and faithful.

ALB Introduction by LeeAnn Sinclair

In January of this year, Monona UMC changed its administrative structure from an Administrative Council of over 20 people to an Accountable Leadership Board of approximately 10, who include the following members of our congregation:

Louise Belk--Chair; John Huston and Tim Eberle representing the Trustees; Phyllis Stertz and Dan Medenblik representing the Finance committee; Dorilee Miller and LeeAnn Sinclair representing the Staff Parish committee; Deb Munroe and Kay Cowing, who represent the ministries committees, and, of course, Pastor Paul.
