Well, here we are again at the beginning of a new week. I just thought that I would take a few minutes to update what has been going on over the last couple of weeks.
Last week I was in Denver, for the Evangelical Covenant Church's Midwinter Conference. This is a gathering, for all of the pastors, seminary students, and others who are interested in ministry in the Covenant Church. I really enjoy this week because I get to catch-up with friends and even make some new friends. It is about being able to chat and see what everyone else is doing. It is about worshiping together, and for me this year, I got goose-bumps when all of us were singing on Tuesday night, after Fleming Rutledge preached, "A Mighty Fortress is Our God." I think it was the loudest we got while singing all week! The conference is also about honing skills or picking up new ones as I attended workshops on liturgy, prayer, and small town ministry. I had a great time, but soon it was back to reality and trying to find a job that will tide me over until I get called to a church.
About where I am in the call process is that I was able to talk to a few superintendents at the conference. Most of them did not have any positions that I am looking for, but a couple of them told me that my profile was sent to some churches here in the Midwest. I think in all there are 8 to 10 profiles out at various churches. We will just keep praying that the right situation will show up.
That is about it from here and I will be talking more about what occurred at Midwinter as I process what I heard and learned.
I want to give a "shout out" to all who I saw at the conference and also to those who I may have missed.
