Back to blogging


It has been a while, however, I am back.
So much has happened since my last post, it is difficult to know where to begin.
Recently as of September 12, I was licensed by Bishop Mark Sisk of the Diocese of New York as Eucharistic Minister/Visitor as well as Worship Leader to lead services of Morning & Evening Prayer at the Cathedral of St. John Divine.
This coming Wednesday, Michaelmas, I will be taking vows with the Order of Urban Missioners. The order was formed by Canon Victoria Sirota+ as a community of Christians ordained and lay who support each other spiritually in their various ministries. We have just finished a retreat at Holy Cross Monastery in West Park Ny, just in time for our service of coventing on the 29th at the Cathedral.
This will be such an incredible blessing as I embark on these new ministries.
I have been computer deprived since April, so it has been impossible to blog!
I am delighted to be able utilize blogging as a form of journaling if nothing more, if anything to stay in touch with other blogs that I follow.
I was not able to post this as planned yesterday. The service of vows was extradordinary! Bishop Mark Sisk presided and preached and it was a brilliant evening! I am still on cloud nine! Thirty of us took vows, may God bless and keep us on our journey of faith and service in the city!
