Last week, when I was up in Chicago for our pastor’s leadership cohort retreat, we started off with an hour and and a half silent retreat. It was the best way possible to start our time together!
It was also a really cool journey into the first chapter of Luke.
My nephew Steven celebrated his… er… 5th? birthday? I can’t even remember my own age or my kids age… it’s hopeless to try to remember my nephew’s birthday too! Bad auntie!
In my other post I noted how when I fly, I never seem to have a smooth trip. I could also say this is true when I drive to a new location. (And sometimes even to a location that I have been to before.)
Today was a perfect illustration.
On April 13, 11 churches in Davis joined together to serve our community. It was an multi-church effort that ended up with over 700 people participating!
There were something like 30 sites, where people helped clean up landscaping, facilities, and interact and work with people of all ages.
This past week I have been in Chicago with other Covenant pastor types. It was our last year-long leadership cohort retreat.
Birthday #4 was celebrated by our church staff. Once a month we have a birthday celebration for all the people who had birthdays that month. Before there were only two of us. I think now there are four! Shelley was so nice and made birthday cakes for us! She made me a red velvet cake because that is one of my favorite cakes! That is so sweet!
Albert and I went away for a weekend — the first time in a long time! I think the last time we went away was for my birthday last year!
We visited one of our favorite haunts, Petaluma. Exotic vacation destination, I know.
