Good to be Back!
Last Sunday was our first Sunday back after enjoying a 13 week sabbatical. In our church, when a pastor has served in the same church for 7 years, they are eligible for a sabbatical. We had a great time and will be looking forward to our next sabbatical in 2016. But it was so good to be back in our church. We were so graciously welcomed back by our church family! There were balloons everywhere, outside, inside. The platform was covered with balloons.
Special welcome back potluck
Special cake!
It took us an hour to drive to church Sunday morning, as there were at least 30 signs which began in our front yard, all along the highway, right up to the church welcoming us back. There were some busy bodies working late Saturday night!
