While preaching today I missed about 9 good opportunities to stop! But I kept having something to say. Oh well, I know I preached a short sermon sometime.
Part of what I wanted people to know was that Jacob Schneider was approved for commissioning this week. He will be commissioned at this year's annual conference. This is a significant step in the ordination process of the United Methodist Church. Congratulations Jake. Proud of you!
We continue our conversation about patience. It did seem appropriate to put patience into action by leaving the parking lot without honking our horns at people. Sounds like people did very well today.
It's funny how spring daylight savings time seems to effect the church like the Fourth of July Weekend! It is generally one of our lower attendance weekends. Even so we had a great weekend. If you did not hear the new children's choir, "Good New Company" you missed the highlight of the year! They were great. Energetic, enthusiastic and brought the Gospel to the congregation. Wow. Looking forward to their next time in church.
Continuing these random thoughts...it is really basketball season now. Shortly the NCAA tournament field will be announced. We are kicking off three weeks of compelling sports. Enjoy. I have this thing for small college sports. Hope to catch some games at the NAIA tournament. Won't make it to Billings, Mt. for the Baker women's games in the national tournament.
Enough of that.
Let me offer one more reminder of our Lenten applications for the week. Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God.
It's been a great day. I hope you've had a great day too.
