Sunday morning, HSH went to The Little Church that Could by himself because he had committed to reading. I stayed home because I was working on a presentation for my boss.
TVs are a great babysitter, by the way, when it's Sunday morning and you have to make a really amateurish powerpoint. The parenting tips are free.
When HSH got back from church, he told us that a.) the congregation has added Posey's upcoming Easter baptism to their prayers for the people and b.) our rector is retiring in two months.
HSH has been asked to be part of the search committee to find a new rector, which should be interesting, considering that the current rector oversees two tiny, aging congregations. He also has been asked to coordinate another massive fundraiser. He is my hero.
So Posey will be baptized on Easter in the Little Church that Could by the priest who is retiring.
Why do I feel like a traitor for even imagining a different church?
Well, the way these things go,you're most likely to hire a 'freshoutofseminaryIcansavetheworldandthechurchtoo' rector who will be shiny and new and get all sorts of new members for the church while solving mysteries in her spare time with the hotter than hot local police officer who is unhappily married. No, wait. That's a mystery series I read--but it's set in your part of the country--does that count?
Congrats on the upcoming baby dipping.
