Second Sunday First Church

Yesterday was my second Sunday at First Congregational United Church of Christ in Moline, Illinois. It was a good day, the highlight being the baptism of a little fellow named Ryan in the morning service. I am still unpacking books in my office. There was a funeral last week at the church and another today at a local funeral chapel. Busy. At lots of names and meeting folks. It surprises me a little how many people we have some sort of connection with already - know a family member, kids went to school together, neighbor of members at Church of Peace. It is a new adventure.
