It’s 2014 and that means it’s time to post my pastoral year in review. As always, 2013 was a busy year for me in the ministry. Then again, when is the pastoral ministry not busy? Without further ado, here’s the breakdown:

Sermons: 59 (not counting midweek Advent and Lent sermons)
Weddings: 0
Funerals 2
Baptisms: 10
Junior Confirmation: 15
Adult Confirmation/Affirmation of Faith: 4

2013 also had a couple of other eventful experiences for me. First, our daughter Maizie was born. Finally, I can say that I have daddy’s little girl. Who doesn’t want daddy’s little girl?

In October, I was contacted by KFUO to do a radio Bible study. It was at 9:00 am St. Louis time, so that meant 7:00 am my time. It started a bit later due to technical difficulties at the radio station and that resulted in a bit shorter of a Bible study than normal. Also, there was a sermonette based on the text as well. You can listen to it here.

That pretty much sums up my end of year post. Nothing too exciting, save the birth of my daughter. Tomorrow means cleaning my desk and trying to start 2014 off on the right foot.
