Otter Creek suffered another loss today when Scott Owings resigned to become a hospice chaplain.
Scott, for me, was one of the people who made Otter Creek the sweet place it is and the open-minded place it has come to be. He led many of the members to deeper understandings of the spiritual disciplines, the saints, the deeper places in life where one can go to really know Christ and God's messages. His Wednesday night Vespers program has led many of us to a broader understanding of what it means to worship God in a holistic way. The first time I ever heard the term "lecto divina", was when he explained it to a class. He planned classes in the educational program for adults which broke new ground.
I shall miss his leadership in the church and in the staff. I am so glad he and Lisa will still attend Otter.
