Yogi Berra said it, "It's like deja vu all over again." I feel like I've been here  before. Bishop Hollerith has done us a wonderful thing. We were having a difficult time getting our Confirmation service back on the schedule for a Sunday. It might have been next year some time, or on a weeknight. +Holly rearranged his plans for this weekend and will be with us THIS weekend for our regular Sunday morning schedule - just a week late.
Yesterday we published the details. +Holly will be in the Adult Forum from 9:15-10:15 with all youth confirmands and all adults. ("Episcopal 101" will still meet in the Library.) Bishop Holly Hollerith will preach, celebrate and confirm at the 10:30 service in the Church. I'll preach at 8:00, the Gathering, and 5:00. Like last week, I will also be leading music in the Gathering so the regular band can participate in Confirmation.
I know it is NOT a perfect solution.
Some of our confirmands will not be able to make this last minute date change work and some family who traveled for last weekend cannot repeat with such short notice. I am sorry. We will have another date or two when we might be sending a delegation to a close-by parish to be confirmed.
Tonight, Ashley and I conclude our teaching series on "Formed by Love". If you come, we will have a treat for supper. A brand new restaurant, "It's All Greek to Me" opened around the corner (where Val's Italian was formerly). The owner is giving us a good deal on what would normally be a more expensive meal to introduce his Greek cuisine. I've seen Fred Myers and Trey and Karen Dudley already raving about it, so come try it out.
As you say your prayers this week, add a simple, "Thank you, Lord!" Without going into details, a couple parishioners with particularly difficult challenges have had very good news. So join with them in your thanksgivings.
See you in the kingdom!
