Roots

So I was reading through Steve Yamaguchi's Presby Pastor's e-sharing this morning and came across this little point of interest. I remember filling these fish-boxes, ie: "Gracie" with coins as I participated in sunday school and summer camps.


a) One Great Hour of Sharing – with Japan. The little Fish Coin Offering Boxes make a difference. The earthquake hit Japan on Friday, March 11. By Monday, March 14, we had sent $100,000 to Japan through our One Great Hour of Sharing offering. Please let your children know that their Fish Coin Offering boxes are making a difference to help the children of Japan. (By the way, after many years, the coin box fish finally has a name. She is Gracie.)
Lent and Holy Week are the most popular seasons for churches to collect the One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) offering. Click here for more information about how to participate in the OGHS program.


Great to hear that the habits of children build deep roots of compassion and care for our future generations.

Life Update

I'm sure there are few who read this, but for the sake of leaving my mark on the world wide web I am posting a little update on the upcoming, fairly significant events in my life.

Over the next six weeks I will be interviewing at 5 different hospitals along the West Coast for a position as a Resident Chaplain. This position will continue my education, and serve as my ordination prerequisites to continue working in the field. My residency will begin sometime in August or September.

June 11 will be my graduation date from Fuller Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity in Worship, Theology and the Arts.

August will be the last time I have to take any Ordination Exams... prayerfully... as I retake my final Exegesis exam toward the end of the month.

From now until then I am living at Grandpa's and studying.
Peace
