feel a little embarrassed bout saying that I’m not working full time this summer. I feel weird about walking away from a job that was so easy, so fun, and so life giving. I feel like I’m giving up on opportunities to form new disciples, to teach, preach and learn more. This was the place where I went away for Stephen Ministry training, and where I was encouraged to pursue a certificate in Church Management. This is the place where I’ve been offered the chance to participate in national discussions related to the future of sacramental rituals and the celebration of certain holy days. This has been my home. This was where I made amazing new friends. This was where I rediscovered the person God has called me to be.
