This week’s roundup comes a little early – I’m taking Good Friday off from work.<\/p>\n
Sunday – After worship I went to the Adult Forum on the capital campaign which included a manse tour.\u00a0 The manse tour included lunch.\u00a0 This solved a problem for me – Carolyn was in North Jersey at a wake for a cousin-in-law of hers.\u00a0 Later in the evening I went to Sr. High youth group where we prepared further for Youth Sunday.\u00a0 I have an assignment – I need to find Old Testament scripture(s) to match up with the Prodigal Son.\u00a0 (Feel free to suggest some in comments or e-mail)<\/p>\n
Work this week has been quiet.\u00a0 My boss passed her Project Management Professional exam on Monday (on the first try!) and we celebrated with donuts and bagels on Tuesday.\u00a0 The entire group is taking her out for lunch next week.\u00a0 Other than that I’m doing design work for a project.<\/p>\n
Planning for the moderator candidate event is progressing.\u00a0 I’m finding a huge disparity in how presbyteries handle the list of commissioners.\u00a0 Some are treating it like I’m some kind of identity thief and insisting on forwarding the event information to their commissioners.\u00a0 One stated clerk said that he’d look at the invitation and determine whether or not it was “appropriate” for the commissioners.\u00a0 Other presbyteries are being very forthcoming and giving me all of the information that I ask for in minutes.\u00a0 I have to wonder who abused the list of commissioners at some point and how that caused the very prickly reaction in some places.<\/p>\n
Monday evening at church Project Open Door met (well, actually at the manse – it solved a child care issue for the pastor).\u00a0 Most of the meeting went very well.\u00a0 Then we got to the subject of whether or not racism is an issue in our church (which is 90+% white) and whether or not we’ve introduced bias into our visitor survey.\u00a0 I’m amazed at how passionate people were about their positions (given that it was a room full of white people) and at how much disagreement there was.\u00a0 After this painful experience we’re going to revisit it again later – probably with the help of an expert.\u00a0 Ironically, Barack Obama covered all of the issues that we discussed in his speech the next day<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tuesday evening I ended up serving as the pick-up Net Control Station for a ham radio weekly drill.\u00a0 This was the weekly Mercer County SKYWARN\/RACES\/ARES net – to test radios and procedures in case our services are needed due to a disaster or severe weather.\u00a0 It went relatively well given that most of our members were attending a club meeting at the time and were unavailable.<\/p>\n Kamagra is a brand name available in different flours to cater to your taste cialis de prescription<\/a> buds as well.
