So, from a personal note, three changes going on in my church-related life.
- I’ve dropped, er, foisted, er, transitioned management of our church web page off to someone else. I think. I hope. It was something I enjoyed putting together and hated maintaining (lack of cooperation in doing so being a not-insigniificant part of my dislike). That should make it easier to look at the church bulletin without worrying about what parts of it I need to transcribe on-line.
- The Alpha class starts tonight, so my Monday nights (plus one weekend in mid-March) are now all sucked up with being a small group facilitator. Should be interesting, esp. since I need to be in “I don’t know everything, let’s see what everyone else has to say” mode, which doesn’t come naturally to me. Margie is doing the cooking, which means her Monday days are pretty full, though she’s not doing the class. It also means that dinner should be great.
- I didn’t get elected to the Vestry (the parish council). Three openings, four candidates, one guy left on the sidelines. I was told it was an extremely close race, and had a number of folks assure me that they would certainly find things I could apply my talents to, but it was a bit disappointing. Also provocative of a lot of second-guessing (Did shaving my beard and moustache make it difficult for folks to recognize me? Should I have worn a sports jacket and tie? Was my mini-biog too long, too weird, or otherwise defective? Do they all really hate me?).
Well, there’s always next year.
