This week, I just couldn't focus on sermon prep. I finally pulled up my go to resources and cut and pasted the three sermon helps into a coherent whole that I could preach.
It went over well. I was able to lend my "voice" to the narrative and it was well accepted by the congregation.
I did, however, choose to share about my accepting the request to be a regular in the pulpit supply chain. As I explained how I felt an affinity to this congregation and their struggle over the last year and the decisions that need to be made for their future and how those struggles parallel my own, somehow a few in the congregation got the impression that I was contemplating accepting a call to be their next pastor! Thankfully, they openly voiced their confusion and I was able to set the record straight.
Will be preaching here again in two weeks. Kicking off Advent for them on a very busy holiday weekend of my own.
