This weekend is a hallmark in my ministry.  I will be performing my first wedding ceremony!

I'm excited, a little nervous and hoping my voice, which is very weak today, is strong enough to get me through.  I'll put a write up about how it goes after the rehersal tomorrow and then after the wedding on Saturday.

To add to the excitement of the wedding is a little mellowdrama.  One of the ladies in our congregation lost her battle with lung cancer this past week, so we will be working with her family to put a dinner together to celebrate her life.

I'm really looking forward to Sunday Service as well.  Our pastor and a couple other ministers went to the International Pastors and Ministers Conference this week. I'm planning on going next year, but everything that I've heard from the conference is that it is just plain awesome.  I got to catch the evening service on Tuesday and it was incredible.  I really wish I could have been there in person, because there was power watching it in my living room on my laptop.  With a re-invigorated minister Sundays service should be great.

The pastor also mentioned to me last week that he's going to have me minister in a few weeks on what I wrote a few days ago on this blog, Increasing Your Need.  I'm preparing for that, which is why I'll be posting a little less until then.  If I have some new revelations on the topic I may post them, but we'll see how it goes.
