Midweek Eucharist celebrating the Feast of the Visitation. May we all have a trusted confidant to visit when things get rough.

From yesterday’s sermon: Worship is like date night with your spouse — It’s a time to get away from the pressures and chaos of the world to spend time and reconnect with your beloved.

O God, whose blessed Son made himself known to his disciples in the breaking of the bread….

One service this morning followed by the annual meeting. It was mostly good. Finishing the day with Taize evening worship.
“O Lord, hear my prayer … when I call, answer me.”

Will you continue in the Apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in the prayers? Will you persevere in resisting evil? Will you love your neighbor as yourself? Will you strive for justice?

Christmas season is different this year. Sunday is #HolyName. My postulant preacher was up for this Sunday, but called off sick, so I’m preaching. Is it wrong to just use the article I wrote on Holy Name for the monthly newsletter as my sermon?

I love walking into an empty, quiet church, with the smell of incense hanging in the air.

Second service in the books. I love smells and bells. It all went well up until one of my acolytes passed out into a flower arrangement. 😬 Other than that, it was a great service.

Just got word that our video guy won’t make it for the late service. As I was processing how to get the word out to people who count on our livestream for worship, a second video guy let me know he’d come in and cover.

Going to grab a quick lunch, then head to the church for the 4:00 service. Back home later for dinner and it’s back to church for the 10:30/11:00 mass.
