Such joy...

...looking forward to a nice long holiday weekend (and get-together with Pr. Pearson and his wife on Sunday and the St. Paul's Choir on Monday), followed by a rather short week at IC, and THEN and THEN!!!!! Beginning in June, Deaconess Sandra J. Bowers will join the Worship staff at IC and I will no longer be carrying this puppy alone.  DEO GRATIAS! Sandy has had years of experience as a deaconess in prison ministry, is a devoted friend of the liturgy and lover of Lutheran hymnody, and is very excited to begin work at the IC helping Worship to continue and expand its offerings to Synod and helping the Chaplain in the care of the workers at the IC. CAN'T WAIT!!!
