Summer time!

The change of pace has changed a lot around here at church since it is summer. So many staff members are on vacation, so we are all juggling who is going to be around when... who needs to cover what... when can we get certain meetings taken care of... its tricky.. but also kinda quiet during the day time.

As for me.. I am not having as many responsibilities.. my time here is wrapping up... and since there is a lot of time going into planning the upcoming programatic year... when I wont be here.. I am slowly being taken out of planning... its sad but needed I guess.

so for my to-do list this week:

Study for the BPE( I plan to take it and pass on July 20) PRAYERS PLEASE!

Write my last article for the Zumbro newsletter

Go shopping for my last Gather Together service next week

Practice my sermon for Sunday

Make copies of my final evaluation for my internship committe memebers for our meeting tomorrow.

Start thinking about packing up stuff here pretty soon. (my office has accumulated a lot of stuff.)


I am looking forward to some church friends to come down and hear me preach this weekend. It means so much to have visitors come see me in action. I appreciate the support and seeing their friendly faces in the congregation. I always tell people... I am going to be preaching the rest of my life so there will be PLENTY of time to come see me in action... but they insist on coming as often and soon as they can! I love it!
