Moving Church

Shirley and I, for the first time in the year-and-a-half we've lived here, have re-arranged our living room. You may question that, but I'm honestly kind of reluctant to move furniture. Part of the reason, at least for the living room, is that Chapel of St. Francis parish worships there. So we have to have the furniture arranged in such a way that everyone can face the altar, with its Celtic cross and the icons above it.

So yep, the altar was moved. We drove over to Home Depot last night, and bought a wooden shelf and some hollow wall anchors for the cross. I'm actually amazed at myself -- hanging the shelf and icons was much easier than last time. No frustration, which really is a miracle.

I think it looks pretty good. We're looking forward at our worshipping community's reaction tonight. No, we haven't told them. So it'll be fun. If you're in the OKC area, come worship with us in Eucharist (Communion) tonight at 7. I'm the Celebrant (worship leader), and we welcome you. Come as you are, 5901 NW 62nd St. at MacArthur, brick house nw corner. You'll see the vehicles.

Why did I title this 'moving church'? Because this is only temporary -- our Sunday morning worship will be moved to a more "public" place -- I'm working on that right now. As a matter of fact, I'm headed out the door right now to meet with someone at another church to tour and discuss meeting in their facilities.

God's blessings be yours in abundance.
