The pastoral honeymoon is over

ClergyToday marks my one-year anniversary at Trinity Lutheran Church. My first year at Trinity has been a very busy year, but a very good year. During the “honeymoon” year, a pastor can do pretty much about anything and get away with it. When the start of year 2 begins, the pastor can now make mistakes and will be called on them.

Today, we left for Colorado Springs for Higher Things: The Feast. We had three other youth groups join us last night at the church. Unfortunately, one of the groups, a group from Canada, had their back windshield of their van broken out. I feel bad that this happened to them at the church. Not a very good way to say “Welcome to Gillette.”
