rosa_heartlilyHad a church meeting to plan our worship pattern for the next few months. We started with reflections on how things are going, then some suggestions for the future, then the dates. With 9 people on the call it took two hours to even begin filling in dates. The person leading the meeting said people could leave, so I took advantage of that - saying I'm always happy to lead morning prayer at either St B's or St M's, and happy to speak occasionally, but there are people who are a) PAID for that or b) are in some form of training, so need the time and practice.
I've decided against 'proper' prayers - I think 2 hours with fellow Christians counts as prayer! I have read my daily portion of 'With My Whole Heart' by former Bishop of Liverpool James Jones, and the CAC daily meditation and written them up in my paper journal. Prayer is for the pray-er not for God, after all.
I suggested to new LM that we should set up some 1-1's - they've been my LM for about 6 weeks now and we haven't had anything formal. Of course, we sit next to each other in the office and often speak about stuff, it's just getting on to the right footing. So, they put in a fortnightly recurring meeting for Fridays. Now, I have a tendency to book Fridays or Thursdays and Fridays as leave. The first meeting - I'm on leave. The second one, I have a project board (suggested moving that one). The third AND fourth I'm on leave - although I suggested a different day for the last one. Still, summer is always an odd time, and it's the principle of the thing, rather than the actual doing.
Grandson #1's plastic 18 key arrived today, and I finally got round to ordering 'Dirty Greek' to help him on his holibobs in July.
And I'm going to stop there because it's time to sleep.
