let us rejoice

Monday, June 29th, 2009

What a wonderful Sunday! We had two couples join our congregation and both are enthusiastic about sharing their gifts for ministry and mission. We also shared in the joy of a young man’s baptism. It was the first over which I’d presided. I’m looking forward to another in the fall! What a wonderful gift that God is infusing our congregation with new life and energy!

New things

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

It’s been great to see all the new things happening here in just the last few months. New baby, new members, new elders and deacons, new energy too.

I had thought this summer might be a quiet one, but boy was I wrong! Baptism, maybe a wedding, elder training (not something we used to do in the summer), new member classes, VBS–the list goes on. I had wanted to do a catechism for adults class, but I don’t think I’m going to have time to put it together now. Which is fine with me; it’ll save!
