Lay Leader, band member, and co-chair of Joyful Healers’ Finance Team, Chris Lehman has announced his candidacy for the State Senate, 2nd District. I find this to be extremely exciting news as I know of nobody with more integrity, commitment, energy, and intellect. Chris is a lifelong Methodist, well anchored in his faith and its application to social and political issues. Chris’ wife, Danielle is also active at Joyful Healer and has used her passion for children and education to enrich our Joyworks program. Chris’ parents, Dave and Mary are also a part of our Joyful Healer family and serve as membership secretary and co-chair of the Finance team. Last but far from least we have Natalie, Lizzy, and soon a little brother.
The Lehman family will need our encouragement and prayers as they embark upon this rigorous and difficult journey. We at Joyful Healer have a wide variety of opinions on social issues and political views. Thanks be to God! We certainly don’t all agree on everything. But I think we can all agree that the Lehman family needs our prayers and encouragement. And we should always celebrate when anyone in our church family makes a new commitment to serve the common good in a new way.
Go Chris! We love you and pray God’s blessings upon you and your family.
Pastor Steve
