Dear Friends

Do you remember that Mazda commercial which included the jingle echo that went “Zoom, Zoom Zoom”?

Here is my schedule this week for my “half time”* interim position: Count the zooms! (*not complaining…just busier than before the pandemic, like many). It is sprinkled with a few pastoral calls and e-mails each day to stay connected with members, including a birthday calls

      I can only imagine the new classes and curriculum coming to on line seminaries when it comes to the on-line church we are becoming and will continue to be. And the question should not be “When are we coming back to church?” but “When are we coming back to the future church?" which is already happening now.
