Today we celebrated the 16 year ministry of our priest, Margaret Taylor as it was her last time with us prior to retirement. It was a service and a feast and fellowship never to forget. It is easy to live a life and become slightly abraded, even jaded so that profound spiritual experience is an historic memory, distant in the past. Today I was reminded that if you are open to the Spirit, then profound spiritual experience can be experienced in fellowship, in a warm, open, loving, family.
On FaceBook I quipped "An ebullient celebration today...glad the kleenex was handy..." . It was emotional and it was warm, and it was fun, so we laughed and cried. A complete game.
Our parish now looks to the future for new leadership, for the first time. It will be an interesting journey...
