Shifting Gears!

Greetings dear readers out there in the blogosphere. Well, after three months of sabbatical and a few weeks of holidays I am now shifting gears to head to the office bright and early tomorrow morning. Yes, the sabbatical has been ‘worth it’. That’s what people seem to be asking me. It has been restorative and renewing. I’ve learned some things – things about the church, things about the congregation and things about myself. It has been heartwarming to me to occasionally get the message that I have been missed. I have also missed connecting with congregational members and participating in the various aspects of ministry at Bracebridge United Church. The time away has given me fresh energy and I am ready to get back at it. That said, it does feel a bit like the first day back to school. I have both an eagerness and a nervousness to get at it. But I am confident the morning will bring a great new day.
