Home at Last [revised]

My bad, a lot of homework and not enough caffeine will be my excuse. Apparently, I forgot to mention that the reason for the article on Johnny Hart was that he died the day before Easter. One of the reports is here.

Kenton Dismissed

Presbytery of the Cascades voted overwhelmingly to dismiss Kenton Presbyterian Church, and it's pastor [yours truly] to the EPC. Now all we've got is the paper work and that is well in hand. We have a gracious God and I believe that Cascades did a very good job in showing it's grace and compassion in this process. There is another congregation, a much different situation, coming up tomorrow so we'll remain in prayer for our sisters and brothers in that process. Alan

Response to Toby [not disagreement]

The following was posted separately because of it's length. Long-windiness is one of my spiritual gifts. Toby's wish for a clear decision on the issue of PUP via Ms. Larges is a good and long sought after desire. Unfortunately as one who has filed charges as well as one who sat on PJC's it's not all that clear-cut. Here's what may or may not happen. The group that voted against the action of the Presbytery files a complaint alleging Presbytery took action that constituted an "irregularity" or "delinquency" [1] .

COLD in Portland

This last Sunday, December 14, 2008, was the Third Sunday of Advent. It was nice about 7:30 when I got to church. It was NOT as nice at 9:30 when I recorded a message on the answering machine and it wad down right NASTY by worship at 11 am. I anticipated as much since I only ran off 30 bulletins. We were blessed with an impromptu performance from a guest pianist as the faithful members of Kenton showed up regardless of the nasty weather. Didn't get a count but it was at least 40 there during worship. The video which is embedded was taken about an hour after worship. One of our more senior couples drove to worship...[not smart] so Joe drove them home and I followed him and brought him back to worship. That is when I decided to film this. It's been up on my Facebook but some of you don't have that so here it is. Peace Alan
