St. Michael and All Angels

Today is the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels - Michaelmas for all you anglophiles out there. At Vespers tonight we'll read the texts and sing some very American angel songs - Angel Band being one.

There hasn't been much blogging time. We survived (nicely) the LENS conference last week. On the first day of this gathering of clergy and other church professionals our Northwest Washington Synod Bishop Chris Boerger officially installed me as pastor here at Holden. When we got to the "Be among us to..." part, that was done in true Holden style. It was hilarious! Here are pictures. The first is "Be among us to baptize," the second "Be among us to lead worship," the last is the Grand Finale!
We were out very briefly (Friday night - back in Sunday morning), but got a few errands accomplished and Nancy went to a meeting and an ordination. We'll get in some kind of routine around those things as the year goes by - whizzes by, the way this month has gone!

I know I missed the Wednesday book last week. I'll make up for it by doing two tomorrow!

Happy Michaelmas!
