Placement Begiins

So I started my placement the other week at Lowry (North) church.  It wasn't my first choice of placement, but it was getting difficult finding places where I hadn't already lead worship, been on placement, or been at Mrs Gerbil's placement.  I had planned on avoiding Lowry (North) as the minister was my presbytery rep for my meetings with 121, however 121 had other ideas.

So, I met with Stephen, the minister, and he gave me the guided tour.  There's plenty to keep me busy, with the usual fayre of Board, Session and Guild.  A pretty good selection of youth groups, three schools, a couple of care homes, and a group of Methodists that are having their church renovated and will be using Lowry (North) for worship.  There's also a regular cafe that does a pretty reasonable bowl of soup, and once they learn that vegetables are the devil's excrement, and that side salad never belongs on a plate, then their plain cheese sandwiches will be prefect.

So I can see things I want to learn, things that will challenge me, and things I want to change. I am trying to get all the daytime things visited early on.  I am getting a bit bored with retirement, so I am looking for a bit of work.  Three job interviews are coming over the next 7 days.  We'll see what happens with them.
