New things are happening for the pastor, so I may start blogging again. After 2 years working part time at our suburban church, she will be serving a 2 point charge in a neighboring county. We will not be relocating, however, which will be great for the family (though I'm sure there will be some parishioners who don't like that :*) I'm excited for her and for our family - it's been a good break, not without drama, but certainly good for our kids. It's time to jump back into the parish, though, and continue on the path towards ordination in the UMC.
In case you're not aware, "2 point charge" means that there are 2 churches who combine their resources to pay for a pastor. She will preach twice each week, once at each church, e.g, 9am at one and 11am at the other. These are two country churches that have been in a bit of a decline. We've been told that one averages about 40 or 50 in worship every week, while the other one is down to about 12 active members. Should be interesting and fun.
So if anyone reads this - google reports some very light traffic here, but I don't know if it's real people or bots - and you are one who prays for such things, please keep our family in your prayers.
