Meetings Postponed for Preaching Seminar

Jenny and I recently learned that Dr. Eugene Lowry, ranked as one of the top 12 preachers in the United States, will be presenting a seminar on "The Current State of Preaching" at Topeka First UMC tomorrow. Because the pastor chairs the committee on lay leadership (formerlly the nominating committee), and because I've been told I'm important to the committee that is planning a visit from the bishop, we've postponed those two meetings. I'm sorry about this, but I feel the seminar tomorrow has a lot of promise for teaching me how to serve the church better through my preaching. The committee on lay leadership will meet at 5 p.m. Tuesday and the committee for the bishop's visit will meet a week from Monday at 6 p.m.
