Half a Week

 

Massey's Chapel church family photo Advent 2024

Today cold snow stay inside

polish sermon print Sunday stuff

fill in table 1 do more church stuff

stop when stomach pain forces it

it's just stress not heart attack

rest.

 

Yesterday pickleball in Siler City!

who would have thought

pickleball even in Siler City

nice people old gymnasium

wonderful fun

afternoon mahjong.

 

Monday newsletter and sermon writing

in dark morning hours

later pickleball in Chapel Hill

afternoon church work.

 

Sunday such a crowd in church

so many visitors not enough space

newcomers (with children!) crept up center aisle

accompanied by masked usher

looking for space on any pew

getting close to front

I paused in speaking and said

please move over and make room on the pew!

embarrassing everyone I’m sure

must we really talk about hospitality again?

 

Here’s temporary solution

two pews in back each will hold a sign

RESERVED FOR VISITORS

folding chairs in front for members

I’m sure ushers will not enforce

I’ll have to do it myself

start worship late

but

you do not own this pew.
