Thank You, Rev. David Hockett

What a special day of celebration, gratitude, and fellowship as we honored Rev. David Hockett and his ministry at Davidson United Methodist Church.

We are deeply thankful for David’s faithful leadership, compassionate heart, and unwavering commitment to helping people grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. His impact on our church family and community has been a blessing, and we are grateful for the many ways he has shared God’s love through his ministry.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for worship, attended the reception, shared words of encouragement, and contributed to the love offering. Your presence and support made this celebration meaningful and memorable.

Please continue to keep David and his family in your prayers as they prepare for the next chapter of ministry. We give thanks for all God has done through his leadership and look forward with hope and excitement to what lies ahead.

On Trinity Sunday, Rev. David Hockett delivered his final sermon as Senior Pastor of Davidson UMC, reminding us of the truth that has guided his ministry: God is love. Through John 3:16-17, David shared that the gospel is not about accusation, fear, or exclusion. It is the story of a God who loves the world so deeply that nothing, not even death, can separate us from that love. As we move into a new chapter, we are called to be people who build bridges, offer hope, and reflect Christ's beautiful, sacrificial love in the world.

This Ascension Sunday, Rev. David Hockett reminded us that change is not the end of the story. Through Luke 24:44-53, we see that Jesus’ ascension was not abandonment, but an invitation for the disciples to step into a new beginning filled with hope, purpose, and renewal. Even in seasons of uncertainty, loss, or transition, God is still at work making all things new.

What do we do when life changes and things no longer feel familiar?...
