Yesterday was a high-energy day at church. We welcomed new members; actually, they were members here years ago and transferred to another Lutheran church across the state line, and now they've come back. We went ahead and did the liturgy that my spouse created to welcome new members. I think it's a good idea to have this recognition, which I'm hoping will keep people from drifting in and out and away.
We had donuts after worship. We stopped at a Dunkin Donuts on the way to church, which is a very different experience than the donut stores of my youth: no place to sit down, no display of donuts. We ordered from a touch pad, and the very friendly teen worker brought them to us.
I'm not sure my sermon connected all the dots that I hoped to connect, but I do feel I made good points. I posted the manuscript in this blog post, if you'd like to read it. The recording of the sermon is on my YouTube page.
We came home, did some grocery shopping, and settled in for a cozy end to our Sunday, watching TV and me getting some additional stitching done, a lovely way to end a lovely Sunday.
