I just realized that it’s been a few months since I’ve posted here. I spend far more of my time “microblogging” over at Facebook and on Twitter. The hardest part, right now, is finding time to sit and write. Really write.
General Council Executive has decided to keep the General Council offices somewhere in the Greater Toronto Area, perhaps connected with one of our congregations. It will be interesting to see what happens with the way ministry is expressed (if anything), when the offices are more congregationally connected.
At St. Andrew’s, life goes on. We’re prepping for financial stewardship visits – using a “home group” style that we’ve not tried before. It will bring together small groups that will take a look at what our finances have been used for this year, what we’re planning on using them for next year, and to give people the chance to ask questions about our ministry in general. It should be interesting, especially with some people’s frustration around our movement away from passing the plate.
“Life goes on.” That’s quite the way to describe it. Pretty accurate, though.
