What a big weekend! Friday morning began with my first meeting at 7:30 A.M. followed by a farewell breakfast for one of the members of our council of churches who is moving to a new church across the state.

By late afternoon I was helping Patrick Cortis set up for his concert at Sippin Serendipity. The coffee house was packed out and it was a beautiful night of worship and music.

Towards the end of the night I sat with my grandson Sevii and his ring pop so that Sevii’s mom could take pictures (she has sort of become Patrick’s official photographer).

We finished cleaning up by about 9:30 P.M. and I went home to bed and crashed.

I was up and out by 7:15 A.M. on Saturday so we could get set up for our church workday. We had crews washing windows, repairing faucets, deep cleaning the cafe and our downstairs ministry staging room. Meanwhile another team was outside weeding and raking the playground and leaf blowing the parking lot while a third team fixed the back projector in the sanctuary.

After that we went home and took a brief nap before heading out to The Winchendon Food Truck Festival.

We ended up going down for both lunch and supper. It was a great time and I got to talk to so many people.

It was at this event that T-Mobile announced that the town of Winchendon was one of 25 towns across the U.S. chosen to receive a $50,000.00 grant for improvements! Things are changing in our little town!

It was an auspicious weekend!
