End of Week roundup

Here’s what’s going on.

  1. I managed to decompress from the congregational meeting last weekend.  There are still some hard feelings among the young adults who work with youth, but we’ll get over it.  I did express my feelings to my pastor.
  2. Last night my committee co-chair and the pastor and I had a conference call.  We’d had to cancel the committee meeting because so many members were unavailable for the meeting (including a disturbing number who chose to drop out and prioritize something else higher – after they’d agreed to be there).  We have a strategy for moving forward (but I can’t discuss it here until we’ve announced it to the team).  How do you staff church committees when the really involved people are also really busy?
  3. I passed my ham radio Emergency Communications course, with 100% on the test and 100% of my assignments accepted on the first try.  Next month or in a few months I’ll take the Level II course.

  4. Tonight Carolyn and I are headed to the Trenton Devils game.  We’re skipping Saturday because 3 games a weekend is too much.
  5. Sunday the church is doing a service project in lieu of (or technically during) the worship service.  We’ll start in the sanctuary, but then break early to spread out around the building making School and Baby kits for Church World Service, and hygiene kits for the Crisis Ministry of Trenton and Princeton, and sandwiches and wrapped utensils for the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.  Then we’ll gather for lunch and close worship.  It’s Levi Sunday (named for the Levites – get it?  We’re supposed to wear jeans).
  6. Sunday afternoon the Sr. High (and some Jr. High) youth group will go to see the Trenton Devils hockey team (ECHL).  My season ticket plan includes one free luxury suite a year, and I’m treating the youth.  It should be fun!

I have been tagged in the book meme, but I don’t know if I’ll get to it today.  Maybe later.
