At last, Mary has discerned that her ministry at SFTS is coming to a close. She gave notice that she will leave her employ there at the end of May, much to the dismay of many folks -- all of whom knew this was inevitable at some point in time. This will be such a blessing to us as gasoline surges past $4/gallon and we will both be spending *much* less time on I-80. It will also be quite nice to have her around EG full-time to share in all that happens here.
Her plans are to continue consulting to some of her corporate clients while she pursues Commissioned Ministry in the UCC, focusing on her experience and skills at facilitating transitions, transformations, and conflicts in the local church settings. She was taken In-Care of our congregation earlier this month and will visit our COM (think CPM in "Presbyterian-ese") in August to become a "person in discernment" for at least a year before being commissioned.
All I can say is, "Yeaaa!"
