Kara's coming!

Good news for Zion! I am very happy Zion has found a permanent staff person--Kara Glick. I look forward to working with her in a transition period of time. If I had a photo I'd put it up here. But that's all the information I have.

my first staff meeting

The word went out yesterday. Staff meeting at noon.

When do we have staff meetings? I asked. Whenever needed, not often. Maintenance was there. Assistant pastor. Other asst. pastor was out. Secretary and financial secretary. Pastor came late from a meeting.

Meeting at 12? I noticed. Well, we have lunch together. Yum. The office is already regaled with cookies and candies, but this was solid Costco meat balls. Someone goes to the youth room and brings soda.

What an easy-going meeting, often interrupted by persons coming into the office, right across the hall from our room.

I need "mail boxes" for the choir to keep their folders in, and I learn how to get that done. Tomorrow the organ tuner is coming. There's a tunnel for the heating system most people don't know about. Lots of interesting and useful stuff. I loved it.

For supper I'm going to another fellowship meal. Then it's choir rehearsal for the second time in the new rehearsal room.

"bones" free lunch

The second day on the job and the first benefit--free lunch at Bones Grill. How lucky do I get.

Here's the Zion staff loading up in Scott's van for the trek back to the office after a great lunch made possible by Erin Price winning a lunch for 20.
