Something big is happening this evening, in church....
400 or so Holy Fam-ers, or roughly half of those actively involved in church groups, will converge for a parish pastoral council discernment seminar in the main church hall.
During this 2 hr session, they will firm up their understanding of the PPC; and at the end, each of the 40+ groups will elect one of their own to the PPC, to represent the interests and concerns of their groups, and more importantly, of the entire parish.
As asst secretary, I will be handling the seating arrangement, the voting and election slips, and other logistical requirements... hehe.. slack rite? Well, guess these pale in comparison to the talks and sharings undertaken by the Fathers, Colin, Jenann and James. But I find great joy no matter what, in serving in a simple way. Not to mention the weight of other things to balance eg hospital work, studying, g2, youth camp planning, christmas pageant..... so God's giving me what I can handle, and do well in... for now...
Will be praying for a good attendance this evening, hopefully 800 come!? And also for open minds and willing hearts to come forth to serve the parish community.
Maybe I'll take some photos too.
