Things are coming along well for this pastor in training. I have a better understanding of church administration, I am also getting ready for Local Pastor Licensing School this July. Eight days of training in how to be a pastor and getting my license so I can legally marry people.

Since last post I had to preach my first memorial service. I used 2 Samuel when David's son died, I spoke on what David did after his son passed. David, mourned, then he washed his face, went to worship and fellowship, then he ate, as long we can continue to do those things after the death of a loved one we be able to grieve and deal with our loss. It won't make us feel better immediately but it will help us process. I learned that and what I know about funerals and memorial from two people Willie Lane, and Kirbyjon Caldwell. Working at Windsor Village UMC  I probably attended close to 100 funerals in a two year time period, I wouldn't call myself a professional funeral goer but if I was called on to officiate a funeral on short notice I am confident I could do it.

Other than that, preparing for LPLS and working on the vision of Haven Chapel UMC have been my professional focus. I look forward to what God has in store for us.
