COM

Tomorrow I go to the City for an all day Committee on Ministry meeting. Normally it is a hard meeting with churches and ministers misbehaving and needing help. Tomorrow will be some of that, but the big thing is our examination of a minister receiving her call to the little parish in SW Ok. It will be good to see those 3 churches served with a permanent pastor again, and a joy to see
Sue ordained and serving the Presbytery. Plus, we get lunch..which means that maybe Martin is barbecuing tonight and Aaron is making brownies. They do that for us each Christmas and we do enjoy the food and the time for fellowship. I have another year to serve on that committee and though it is time consuming and sometimes draining, I have enjoyed it because it is wonderful to see troubled churches find their way to become better and stronger churches. I love watching the new ministers begin their work and finding their way into the Presbytery work. So, it will be my day to serve and then back to the Christmas work.
