It's all good so far

10-02-11

Its that quiet time before we go to Church. The dogs have been walked, breakfast done and the newspaper finished. Sandra is getting ready, I have a cup of coffee and a little time in front of the computer. Looking to see how much of the morning blog can go out in the various media. First composing in plain text in Simple-note, then cutting and editing the status into a tweet, and ultimately bringing the whole message over into WordPress for publication. It’s now 9:00 and we are starting the have to get there panic. I will make another cup of coffee and watch.

We got to Church as planned, Sandra’s team had done the set up as needed and everything was in good shape for the service. I had a chance to visit in the Parish Hall, and spent some time making coffee and discuss making coffee, a verboteen topic while on the vestry.

The service went well, only a couple of rounds of glitches with the sound system. We hope to meet with the sound engineer who did the family life center work on Friday. A good turn out to hear the Bishop and see the confirmation.  The Bishop, Fr. Paul, Fr. Scotty, and Wendy were all able to use the altar space and communion went well.  After having been through the remodel of the Sanctuary, and knowing what it takes to produce a good service, I find myself on edge when the mechanics don’t work well.  We do have a plan to go forward with Phase II and have a meeting being set up with the sound man that did the work on our Family Life Center.  I need to remember that we have a plan in place that will happen on God’s time and remember that a bit of feedback is only a reminder that it is His Service and not mine.

Bishop Doyle spoke of change, of the need not to wall ourselves off from the world. He charged us to be out there in it, but also to expect for it to come back in with us. To remember that it is God’s church and we are only stewards. Echos well with where I need to be.  To trust more that things will work out the way they are supposed to, according to the schedule they have.
