Worship Gathering Went Well

Last night, All Saints’ Episcopal Church
held its first Saturday evening Worship Gathering. I was in the group
that designed the event (see my

5 June 2007 blog for more). I think it went very well. 20 people came
to read the Bible, discuss, sing, and pray together. Susan lead the service.
My daughter Jessica lead the singing. Laura and John prepared a simple
meal of two soups (fresh pea, and tomato), french bread, salad, and brownies.
Laura sold the brownies to raise money for this month’s Youth Mission Trip. She
wanted fifty cents each for them and hoped for $8 total but we had a little
auction instead and raised $46.

Over dinner, we discussed the

Bishop Candidates since three of us had already been to several of the
walkabout meetings this week. The last Bishop candidate presentation is
tonight and many of those present at the Worship Gathering plan to attend.
The Bishop election is on 16 June.
Our next Worship Gathering will be on 30 June and I am the leader for it.
I hope it goes as well as the first did.
