Full weekends

How full can a weekend be?  Very.

A Saturday afternoon Vestry meeting at St. Luke’s, Wenatchee; an evening service at St. Timothy’s, Yakima; three more services in Yakima on Sunday; then a Celebration of New Ministry at Grace Church Ellensburg that evening.

Baptisms, Confirmations, Receptions, Reaffirmations, First Communions, and an Institution.  So much to celebrate; too soon to reflect, except to give thanks for it all.
