Appreciating Ron Cook: Pastor on the Move!

The King Street Board recently recognized Pastor Ron Cook with a custom cycling jersey and gift certificate to his favorite bike shop.  Pastor Ron definitely lives the call.  He has been such a blessing to our church family. The word that comes to mind is “stamina;” he shares God’s love with a driving passion.

Every week he can be found in the hospitals visiting the sick, providing communion to shut-ins, comforting families after the loss of a loved one, conducting funeral services, and partici-pating in Sunday morning worship services.  On Monday nights, Pastor Ron often stops into RESET so that he can sit down and visit with the community there (and maybe enjoy a cookie!)  Even when encouraged to enjoy a more relaxed schedule, our Minister of Pastoral Care refuses to slow down.

Pastor Ron is tech-savvy and personally installed many Roku devices in the homes of shut-ins so that they can watch services remotely.  He is always willing to go the extra mile to help a member of our church family. His coworkers greatly admire him.  Pastor Ron is an amazing individual and an inspiration to us all!

The Board wanted to show their appreciation to Pastor Ron for his above-and-beyond dedication.  It is well-known that Ron is usually up well before sunrise so that he can begin his day with prayer and a bike ride, so a gift was chosen that supports his hobby of cycling.  Keep on the look-out for Pastor Ron on his bicycle in his new jersey.  Maybe sometime we could ride along with him but honestly I’m not sure we could keep up!  Thank you Pastor Ron.  You are loved and appreciated by your King Street Church family!  (A huge shout out to Tyler Roberts for his support in designing and ordering the shirt!)
