This is not a good weekend for her to be rendered silent. Well, it never is, but this is a very heavy weekend church-wise, and E is relied on heavily although she too is a "volunteer vicar". This weekend, as I said yesterday, is our Open Churches Festival and E is very involved. Quite apart from that and the usual Sunday worship, there is the annual service in the memorial woodland in one of the parishes.
We had a quick discussion on the possibilities. E feels well enough to be around and rotas of welcomers have been arranged for all the churches. I would lead the "normal" services for Sunday and lay ministers would be roped in for the memorial but she would attend as much as she felt able.
So today Plan B swung into action. It's good to be part of a team.
I am sure your colleagues are grateful you are part of that team! Hope the weekend is going well
ReplyDeleteI think they are. And I am grateful for all the lay people who help out too.
DeleteIt's fortunate you are able to be ready at such short notice! As Ang says above, your colleagues will be grateful and relieved. Hope everything goes / went well.
