LOOKING BUT NOT SEEING
My grandmother, now long deceased, was dear to me. We'd play canasta - for money, of course -from morning to night until my grandfather would complain that he wasn't being fed on time. As savvy as she was at card games, my grandmother occasionally got into scrapes from her lack of
attention.
A frugal woman, she was delighted one day to find tuna on sale at thegrocery store for ten cents per can. She bought ten cans at such a bargain rate. My grandfather complained, however, that his sandwich.

SAFE GATHERINGS-ENSURING THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS
All congregations in the Presbytery are mandated by the Book of Order to write and maintain their own ethical boundaries policies. In September 2014, the Presbytery of Milwaukee approved its own Ethical Boundaries Policy and began using Safe Gatherings as mandatory training for Pastors and Christian Educators in our Presbytery. The Presbytery wants to both encourage and offer the use of Safe Gatherings for all paid staff and any volunteers working with children, youth, and/or vulnerable adults. For more information on how your church can utilize and access Safe Gatherings through the Presbytery's account for your workers, please contact
Chris Halverson at the Presbytery office.

This past
or is so wise he/she had seven wisdom teeth removed!
Again, no one guessed the correct pastor. Keep trying! It is Erin Hittle. Erin is the chaplain at Avalon Square, a Presbyterian senior living community in Waukesha.
"When I was a teenager, I had 5 wisdom teeth removed. Then, as a young adult, I had X-rays taken as part of a yearly check-up. The technician came back in and asked me to schedule the removal of my upper two wisdom teeth! I informed her I'd already done that, and she was flabbergasted, as was I! Extra wisdom teeth run in my family, I've just been extra extra "blessed", lol."
******************************************************************************
WHO IS THIS?
This pastor went up in the famed Seattle Space Needle during the first week that it opened.
Send your guess to Chris Halverson and the first person to guess correctly will be recognized next week and receive a free dinner at the next presbytery meeting!

This congregation is older than the state of Wisconsin and one of their members was a Governor of the state! And one of their ruling elders was the first women elder to be elected as Moderator of the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church USA in 1971. In the 1960s they chartered two new congregations that continue to be thriving churches.
