11/23/09 I didn't preach yesterday. Abby and Jim who work with me on staff both needed to preach in order to meet qualifications for the the Board of Ordained Ministry. So Abby led the 9 a.m. service and Jim the 11:15 a.m. service. I played the backup role doing prayers and other parts of the liturgy.
Several people, including my wife, asked, "Aren't you glad to have a Sunday off?" And the truthful answer is, "I like to preach." I like the rhythm of preparation, followed by the release of the presentation. I am a very dialogical preacher. I like the give and take of the sermons I preach. I like connecting with the congregation in this way. In short, I like to preach.
Love,
Lynn
