All Saints

Usual weekday morning routine. Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
Prepared to preside and preach at the midday cathedral liturgy.
Dealt by email and phone with a substantial administrative issue.
Deconstructed and reconstructed a sermon text for Proper 27 from 1996, repurposing it for use at Trinity, Mattoon on the 12th.
Attended by email to a relatively small administrative leadership matter.
Took a phone call from Fr McMichael to talk through some of the choreography for this Sunday’s liturgies at St Andrew’s, Edwardsville.
Substantive meeting with Rod Matthews, here for some Treasurer work, but, in our conversation, wearing his senior warden of Christ the King, Normal hat.
Returned a phone call to a lay leader in one of our Eucharistic Communities.
Presided and preached at the cathedral Mass for All Saints’ Day.
Lunch at home. Leftovers.
Attended to some work pertaining to two individuals who are ordained in other churches but who wish to serve as priests in the Episcopal Church. This is invariably a complicated process, requiring a lot of attention to detail.
Scanned what felt like a truckload of hard copy materials.
Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
