A Thought for the week
Week of October 18
Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. Luke 5:15-16
You might have noticed something in the new directory looking at my family’s contact information: my cell phone number. In past churches, I had members that did understand the work life balance that I tried to maintain. Coming Trinity, I have handed my number to people who asked for it and to staff and consistory, but I didn’t publish my number anywhere else. After some consideration, I have decided to share my number in the directory and other places so anyone in the church can get a hold of me.
With this in mind, I want to establish some boundaries. If it is a near death or a tragic accident, please call me anytime. If it is during the day Sunday-Thursday, please call me. If it is in the evening, I do ask that you hold your calls until the next day. Like Jesus, I need to separate myself from people and rest. For myself, this is the best way to get this rest, focus on the family I love and be the best for all of you.
