Church of the Good Shepherd

I have been spending the weekend as guests in the home of Bob and Pat Rosenak - my resident hosts when I travel to be with the Church of the Good Shepherd in Albuquerque.

So far, I have spent an eled two services and enjoyable evening with the Moderator, led both morning services, and done a training session with the Council. Tonight - a ball game! My first time to see the Isotopes here in Albuquerque - something I have had on my list of things to do since I got here, but am only now getting to. Next should be a balloon ride over the city.

Anyway, it has been a true delight to be here. The women's choir did two beautiful pieces: a spiritual and a piece of Gregorian Chant.


Also, I met John and Emily - two volunteers working with the United Church of Christ's 'Partners in Mission' program who just today arrived back at the church after spending three months at the Back Bay Mission repairing and rebuilding homes wiped out by Hurricane Katrina. There was much rejoicing as they walked back into the sanctuary today for the first time since they left to do that.

Tomorrow, on to Santa Fe!
