Catching My Breath

Almost three days now since the Presbytery meeting. Thus I have had time to let the highs and lows of the meeting flow through my thinking process.

Some of the highs for me:

The energy felt in the discussion time at the start of the meeting

Kara's outstanding and insightful sermon

Worship as led by members of the CAD Team

The approval of Dean's Call to a Drama Ministry

Moving forward on Immigrant and International Fellowships

Concerns for People with Disabilites TF-- givihg us a tool to inventory each congregation

The highlighting of the agenda items using Powerpoint

The excellent way in which the officers ran the meeting.

Some lows for me:

The time it takes us to do some of the routine business

The style of how we examine our Candidates on the floor

Disappointment that we still have many committee oppportunities still left vacant

Our inability to hold the interest of more people to the end of the meeting.

Look I have more positive than negatives. That's a good sign.

I am sure there are ways we can improve the meetings. The Council is working on this. Any ideas you have please feel free to Email me.

Bottom line for me: there was opportuinity for Personal and Spiritual Growth at the Meeting.I hope you experienced that like I did.
