Had a great weekend. On Saturday we had a surprise birthday party for my dad's 80th. Got family together, brother John and his family drove up - cousins, nieces & nephews - Dad was surprised and we all had a great time.
Not only was Friday my dad's 80th birthday (it was also Willie Mays' 80th) today was their wedding anniversary. More to celebrate.
Not only that but we also got to wish Mom a Happy Mother's Day.
So it's been a great weekend with family.
Mother's Day - we prayed for mothers in church today. Some have gone before us and we remember them with gratitude. Some continue among us and we are thankful. Over and over we stop and reflect on the encouragement, support, direction - and a host of other things - our mothers have meant to us. Thanks Mom.
So this has been a special day.
Today we also announced a couple of changes in our staff responsibilities. With Pastor Curtis taking on the responsibility of developing a new worship service we are making two adjustments to fill the need for Intentional Faith Development and the Evangelism dimension of Radical Hospitality.
Rachel Zolnowski will continue as our interim youth director until we fill the position and complete the transition. At that time Rachel will assume the responsibilities of director of Intentional Faith Development.
Secondly, Pastor Ginger will begin to focus on the evangelism part of Radical Hospitality. To fill the need for additional ministry in congregational care Rev. Christine Tucker-Key will be appointed here part-time. She will be a great addtion to our ministry team.
Lots going on in the life of Platte Woods UMC.
It's been a good day - Oh yeah, Cindy wanted to go to the Royal game today for Mother's Day so I went along! It's really been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
Blessings.
