For the last couple of years, we have had joint charge conferences within our mission area. While I appreciate the time together, I don't always appreciate the lengthy, often random, last minute reporting that happens from each church. This year, I requested, on behalf of parishioners, that we keep it short and sweet. We had seemingly agreed and then the day of I received an email encouraging us to do a power point (something we agreed NOT to do), a drama, or something else fun. I was a bit annoyed. I thought about having various folks share and figured that would take far too long. So, I decided to go a different route entirely. I rewrote the lyrics to "My Favorite Things" and we sang our report. Lyrics are below.
Path
of Life feedings & Sunday morning breakfast
Thanksgiving
Dinner, & Showers for the homeless,
Servants
in ev-er-y ministry field
These
are a few of our favorite things
Fellowship,
worship, and then Bible study
Nursery
repainting and buildings with roofing
NA & AA & Karate too
These
are a few of our favorite things
Bell
choir and praise team and Chancel choir
Youth
testimonies and liturgical dancing
All of our laity doing these things
These
are a few of our favorite things
When
the pipes burst
When
the mic fails
When
there’s graffiti
We
simply remember our favorite things
And
then we don’t feel so bad.
