Well, that cuts it. I'm leaving.

This church had one foot in the grave when I got here, and I can't revive it. And no one else cares. So, time to start working on my profile. I HATE doing a profile, and had hoped I could stay here longer. And I could. The church has an endowment that'll keep the doors open for years. But it serves no purpose and I can't live with that. So, I have to start scrounging up references (EIGHT references!!) and writing a statement of mission, and reading Opportunities, and contacting conferences, and...!!!
:banghead:

There must be something else I could do for a living!

How was your Sunday?

1. Mine was okay

The choir no longer has its weekly rehearsals but sings "reruns" during the summer.

I went to brunch with some friends, went to see my stepfather and mother for Father's Day, and then attended our choir's summer party.

We had a beautiful day, congenial company, and wicked margaritas to drink, although no one seemed to over-indulge.

Eight references is a lot...Good luck. I don't envy you. Job hunting is one of my least-favorite activities, which is one reason why I'm self-employed.

3. Yikes

I'm sorry to hear that.

My cousin asked to come to church with me this weekend. She said she liked it and may join me again. It's a coffeehouse UMC church, very laid back :-)

4. I'm sorry, Critters!

What a drag!

You worked so hard to revive your church.

You will find something that's better for you.

Good thoughts and prayers are coming your way.

:hug:

Oh yeah, my Father's Day was good.
Spent the day with my family, including my 88 yr. old mom
and my older brother.
