Wed. again

The big occupier of my time lately has been helping Doris D with her banner presentation at the Forum. 
92 yr. old Doris has moved to this retirement community and has felt a bit isolated even though there are many people there.  She wanted so much to share with those folks what her calling has been for about 40 years so...we did that Tuesday morning.  Doris was her old self with words.  Not so with her body but she did make it through in fine form.  She chose 7 of her banners to talk about.  There was a lovely group of about 35 folks who were very interested in her stories.  It was a great morning for her as well has her listeners.  Then a few of us North and St. Lukes folks stayed and had lunch with her.  All went well with new banner poles helping in a great way.  The banners went back in my car, the poles in Doug's truck and back to church we went to put banners and poles to bed again.   Now it's getting the church ready visually for Lent.  It's been great fun to pull out old but not used for a long time things that can be placed around the church.  Next Monday and Tuesday will be some work days at church getting things in place for Ash Wednesday and the next liturgical season.  Today, I'm working at the front desk, have a 5:30 Ministries Council meeting, and then bells.  Sometimes I think I'm majoring in church.  That's a good major.
