Preaching Schedule

I'm preaching this sunday at the Santa Rosa Universal Unitarian church. I'm going to be talking about some work I did when I was in the Oregon Legislature on Oregon's Day of Acknowledgement. Then on the 27th I preach at Broadmore and the 2nd at Windsor. In both cases I will probably go with lectionary. (song of solomon on labor day weekend!)

For those without a regular gig: when/where (and what about) are you preaching?

also - Stephanie Croom and Bob Goodin are now official members which means they too can struggle with this just barely functional editor and post directly to the page. Bob apparently has a good week coming up with an interview at a church on the 15th and a neutral pulpit on the 20th. He's not saying where however... at any rate, "prayers are appreciated" he wrote.

More are signing up for direct posting abilities even as I write.

Send news! Where are you? Watcha doing? Inquiring minds want to know! Oh wait, we're candidates now.

Sunday Afternoon

I just got off the phone with Aimee Moiso and Robert Hattle.

Aimee is back from China where she went on the SFTS trip. She says she plans to send photos for posting here when she gets a chance at a high speed connection. The trip was great, the food was interesting - among the dishes presented at the various banquets was jello with duck tongues. Aimee will be preaching at Westminster, Portland this coming sunday.

Robert is in Chicago visiting family. The last (?) of our class to clear the campus, Robert has set up a place in Albuquerque where he will work at a local hospital and work with his very supportive CPM to finish off the ordination exams. He promises a longer note to be posted here sometime soon.

As for myself, I'm still settling into this new life in suburban Santa Rosa. Life as a step-mom is going much better (so far) then I have heard it start for many other families. I have a garden that I started last spring and the tomatoes (why else do we have a garden?) are just now turning ripe! I ran around a lot in June (GA) and July (Interim Training and Worship Leadership at Cascades Summer Conference in Portland) so at the moment I'm thrilled to be home for more than seven days in a row. I'm also polishing up the PIF and taking my measure of this new place. Give me a call or send me email. I miss y'all. - Anitra
