Six more weeks at Epworth, six weeks until I start at First UMC Winnsboro. Time is moving both slowly and quickly. When I look at packing time has slowed down; I wonder are we making any headway!? When I look at what still needs to be done at Epworth time is flying. Trinity Sunday, Graduate Sunday, Annual Conference, Homecoming, Salkehatchie and my last Sunday at Epworth Memorial. It's a sprint. John is diligently packing at the house while I'm finishing up at Epworth Memorial. Before you feel bad for him, I've already packed about half the house and most of my office. He's quickly outpacing me though in the packing productivity. He has coordinated with movers, with Barbara Martin and handled the changing of addresses. Where would I be without the detail guy?
We got some news this week on the Winnsboro parsonage, it didn't pass the mold inspection. While this is bad news, the good news is it will be remediated before we move in. It's a blessing, though a curveball. John and I are grateful the house will be taken care of.
At the Epworth parsonage, we're still experiencing inconvenient plumbing issues which started about a month ago when the city updated the sewer line updates. The front yard I have worked hard on for 4 years is all torn up and they may have to cut into the driveway. Sigh. Doesn't everything always seem to happen at the same time? Looking for the silver linings (Pastor Pamela will have great plumbing) and trying not to lose my sense of humor (the new grass may now be greener for all the umm.... "natural" fertilizer).
Tomorrow, Lea Weed and I will head to the Pastoral Transitions retreat with the Columbia District out at Mount Horeb UMC. I look forward to the training, insights and hanging out with Lea Weed! I'll report more on that training later.
Still looking forward to "WINNing" with you!
Pastor Meg
