Fun with Presby language
I’m sure that I’ve written before about how my wife is Catholic, and I am Presbyterian.
I’m sure that I’ve written one or two things about how Carolyn sometimes get words wrong. For example – there’s a British Comedy about people in a nursing home called “Waiting for God”. She has been known to accidentally call it “Waiting for Death”.
Today we see what happens when she intersects with particularly Presbyterian language.
A week from Sunday I’m being Installed as a Deacon at my church. You might be wondering why I’m not being Ordained – the reason is simple. I was already ordained as a deacon 23 years ago in another church. You only get ordained once to each office.
Carolyn has never seen a Presbyterian ordination or installation. Wait – I take that back. She might have seen our Associate Pastor installed, but that’s an entirely different ceremony than the ordination/installation of deacons and elders. Somehow she hasn’t been at church with me at one of the 4 or 5 times we’ve installed or ordained deacons and elders since I re-joined.
For the past couple of weeks we’ve been careful not to plan anything on that Sunday so that I can be there and she can be there. Personally I think she’ll be underwhelmed; she comes from a background where First Communion is a special service.

It can very effectively solve the problem of obesity as well as overweight. discount viagra The terms have confused her. She started out calling it an Ordination, only to have her Book-of-Order-junkie husband correct her and tell her that it’s an Installation instead. (Side note – my father once wrote in the Christmas Letter that he was being “installed like a muffler” for his 2nd term as deacon.) Then when she was on the phone with her Catholic parents she called it an Investiture. I wanted to know if I got a pointy hat.
I think she has it straight now.
She’s also been helpful with keeping track of events. We have New Officer Training this Saturday morning (as long as Hurricane Hanna doesn’t interfere). We also have the Deacon meeting regularly the 2nd Monday of each month.
The other day I looked at the calendar. On Saturday was written “New Decon Training” and on Monday “Decon Meeting”. I asked if this was her event – after all she’s an engineer in the petroleum industry. But no, and I explained that we didn’t expect to have any issue with contamination.
I wrote in the A’s.
I’m glad that she is so supportive of my church work. I just hope she isn’t too disappointed when the ceremony is only 5 minutes long with only a little pomp and circumstance. As it should be – this is not about us, it’s about service.
Church: Getting your money’s worth
This Sunday the congregants at the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville experienced a trifecta of worship events.
It started with a 5 minute plus speech by a member of the Stewardship committee.
Later we followed that up with a baptism.
After the sermon, we had ordination and installations. One elder was recently elected to fill the term of a brand new elder who had to move for his job. Two deacons had been unable to attend the ordination and installation the week after the election back in June – one had to be ordained.

In other news: tonight is the first meeting of the Welcome and Outreach Task Force that I’m co-chairing. I have all handouts copied, and I’m just about to send a reminder e-mail. Wish me luck!
Solar Installation in Progress
The installation of solar panels on my roof has started. Physical installation will take most of the week. Electrical installation will be done the week of May 17, when the electrician is back from vacation. (The delay was caused by permit issuance delays in my township.)
