Grace and peace to you in Jesus’ name. Amen.
In the Spring, I resigned my full-time parish deaconess call at St. Paul in Sharon Center, and while I really miss the people, I’ve been enjoying going to different churches and taking in how they minister uniquely in their communities. I think it’s wonderful you have an outdoor service—it really allows people to see what you do—from a person who’s both a seasoned church worker and now an itinerant visitor, I’m surprised how hard it can be to go inside a church building when you don’t know anyone or what’s going on in there.
