It's a good day when you catch that your lector will have to pray for the Anglican Church of Aotearoa, so you send her a YouTube video in advance to practice pronouncing it. #pastorlife ⚓

From tomorrow's #sermon:
"Jesus calls us to true #humility, not to a #humblebrag"
Wish me luck as I explain humblebrag to a senior living community! #pastorlife

I visited a church member today who’s on hospice care, and she shared with me that she was having a hard time reading her Bible, because it’s too worn and falling apart. Nothing better in #pastorlife than someone wearing out their Bible! I’ve joyfully purchased a new copy for her to enjoy.

When Advent feels like it’s a day away … because the last Sunday of the church year is coming.

We didn't have #palms in #worship today. Instead, I brought an assortment of #bandanas to wave as we celebrated Jesus' #triumphalentry into Jerusalem, then I preached on the power dynamics of #clothing. #resist #pastorlife #todaysoffice

Today I discovered a cabinet full of #choirmusic. If you look closely, you'll see that many of the files date from the 1950s. The most recent file I found was from 1980! #interimministry #pastorlife #todaysoffice

I did not directly initiate, construct, or fund any of these projects, but I’m grateful and proud that all three congregations I’ve served as pastor have completed significant projects focused on inclusion and welcome during my pastoral tenure. #pastorlife

In other Sunday news, I said “Hello, no!” in Confirmation class. To be fair, it was in response to Paul’s question, “Has Christ been divided?” in 1 Corinthians 1:13, so I think I’m on solid ground there. 🤷🏼♀️
