"You used to sing to me"

So, I've only been at my church for a couple of months, not long enough to accomplish anything big or great. That's what I keep telling myself, anyway. I keep having to remind myself that I have only been here a couple of months. I am just getting to know people. It's too early (for example) to convert Texas or even the greater Conroe area.

Mostly I have been doing the ordinary things of ministry: listening, meeting people, leading worship, writing and preaching sermons. I have been going to the council meetings and giving my reports and I am in the process of putting together a series of house meetings for the fall, where we can get to know each other, the congregation and me. We can find out our hopes and dreams and fears, and start to get glimmers of what we will do together.
