Today we made blue ribbon sticks for Advent after the 10:00 service.
There was also a Bishop's Committee report forum, led by Lou, which I believe included report of my attendance at the last Bishop's Committee meeting in which, among other things, I identified the need not to do so much of what I do at church in children's & family ministry alone.
Out of today's events comes the following.
Thank you to:
- Everyone who brought blue ribbon
- Anthony(??) whose name have to ask his name again...for helping move the table
- Madge for volunteering to help a couple weeks ago, being right there today & making a point of inviting kids to participate
- Deacon Sandy for going around "ordering" adults to participate
- All the adults & children who participated. (I hope you enjoyed yourselves.)
- Patti for getting a napkin to clean up my daughter's spilled juice*
- Aron for putting the activity in the space it was in & for announcing it
- George for agreeing to staple the ribbons onto the sticks on Wednesday
- Ethel & Madge for their offers of help in the future
- People who I imagine were involved in ways I didn't notice or don't recall.
I feel like we did something together today. That seems good. That will make using the ribbon sticks all the better too.
I've had more than my usual amount of conversations with other people at church in the last couple weeks too. Being where more people are makes that possible. They haven't all been big conversations. But I feel like they're important.
* I only found out about this spilled juice episode later as my kids & I talked about the difficulties they had when I was so taken up with the other interactions of the activity that I wasn't responding to them very well....Mommy my juice spilled and I was trying to tell you but you didn't hear me and then that other lady got a napkin to wipe it up.... Note to Aron & Bishop's Committee: isn't this story an interesting juxtaposition with my story of the juice spill of a couple weeks ago?
