Back in June when I began this blog - it was my vision that I would write on it every week. It's amazing how the lazy days of summer sure make time fly by!!!
I have not been the best at keeping this updated - but I have seen in the past that I do better when I am stressed and extremely busy. So, I am hoping/thinking that this fall I will kick into high gear and be more consistant with the blog.
So much has been going on in the parish. The biggest thing probably has been helpinig Fr's Larry and Ben get "up to speed" and made to feel welcome in the parish. They have been working hard and I am so happy with what I have seen. They are kind hearted men who are not afraid to work!!! I know that they are struck by the dedication and faithfulness of the people of this parish. That is what makes St. Michael Parish so successful - the people!
Speaking of, the parish picnic committee is frantically getting ready for Sunday's picnic! It's going to be a great picnic this year! We're going to have a dunk tank (staffed with our very own Fr. Larry and Fr. Ben) and also the NMU students/families are going to be our special guests as it is NMU's Welcome Weekend! The amount of time, work and sacrifice that this picnic takes is unreal. If it wasn't for the dedication of a small committee and MANY helping hands it would not be possible. Thank you all for your work to make our parish picnic a special day where we create memories and gather as parish family!
Well, I should close out - I've been up and working since 6am, and I am beginning to hear my 13month old son, Jonah beginning to stir! (put away the Pastoral/Campus Minister hat and put on the mom hat)
God's Blessings!!!
