Elder Greg
Believe it or not, our church (the big Sunday morning church) has called me to be an elder. That seems to mean a life-long appointment to shepherd, counsel, teach, pray for and serve in ministry with this great congregation of loving disciples. That also seems to mean a life sentence of meetings, complaints, and internal arguments (both large and small) among a bunch of selfish, immature, comfort-seeking sinners like me. I think I'll sign up for the first part! I love this church! HALLELUJAH!

Greg, big Sunday morning church will be blessed so much by you (and Dana). And the life sentence of meetings, complaints, internal arguments and so on and so forth although tedious and dragging at times means little compared to the blessings God will bestows upon your from this group of people and from the community outside this big Sunday morning church. By the way - 1:14 a.m.!? Go to sleep!
We are so thriI'm so lled that Glenwood has chosen you to lead them officially! You have signed up for a grueling job. May God have mercy--and make it fun sometimes!
And it's wonderful to read about The Gathering. Keep writing--you're encouraging to me!
