Hi All!
So here is the first go at the new format . . .
So here is the first go at the new format . . .
Below are noteworthy links that I have found in the past couple of weeks.
I will be transitioning to posting each week or two on things I have found. While they will no longer be added to the old categories/posts, I will use the labels feature and this whole blog is searchable,
so if you are looking for info on, say, Youth Ministry or the Episcopal Church
you can just click on or search for those labels and you will find all the relevant links in both the
new and old posts.
I hope this format works for you! I would appreciate your feedback.
As usual, the notable links are in no particular order . . .
A handy reference for future job interviews:

Prayer for the aftermath of Fort Hood:
In the wake of the shooting at Fort Hood, you may find the following prayer,
from the Bishop Suffragan for Federal Ministries helpful:
"O God of mercy, you sustain us with your grace as we live in a world which seems to abound in violence, often violence we have visited upon one another. Sadly predictable and all too commonplace, this violence is expressed in many settings: at a sprawling Army post, on an urban street, aboard a Navy ship, in rural communities, and even in our schools and families. This day our hearts are particularly heavy as we mourn the recent and violent loss of life in our country. We pray, even plead, with you to deliver us from the ongoing harm and damage that we do to one another. Guide our hearts and minds in the paths of peace so that the greatest instrument we use with our brothers and sisters is the love of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray."
