How I measure
I had a wedding earlier this month. It was my first wedding here, in my new-ish call. The couple at whose wedding I officiated are fairly new members of the congregation. She came and visited not long after I started. A little later, he visited as well. I have some affection for the first few people who showed up the same hot summer that I did.
I took three young people to make chalices the week before the wedding. They are going to make their first communion at the end of this month.
I have a baptism on the same Sunday, at the early service. It will be my third baptism, although my first baby. The first baptism was a three year old and the second was five. A boy and a girl.
