It is Sunday, the day when the YMO group is commissioned at Grace. I wondered what that really means and discovered it is the solemn recognition of a person as set apart for a particular work of ministry. In our case, this recognition will be made by the entire congregation of Grace Episcopal Church.
Holy Cow! That is powerful. We go forth into the world where there are many unknowns, doors not yet opened, eyes not yet seeing, and yet, behind us will be the entire community of Grace and our families and friends, loving and supporting us along the way.
We will be entering the world of another people, the Navajo. We do not know what awaits us, and yet , behind us will be the entire community of Grace and our family and friends, loving and supporting us along the way.
Everything will be new; the people, the customs, the food. We will learn and discover. But, we are bound to make a few mistakes, say the wrong thing, and yet, behind us will be the entire community of Grace and our family and friends, loving and supporting us along the way.
With this commissioning, with our work of ministry, with this journey to the unknown, we will find grace, we will know grace, and we will be supported by Grace and our family and friends, loving and supporting us along the way.
Thank you,
Louise
