@BrianMerritt Well done. I listened last night.
Episode 4 Never let members beat you at croquet! open.spotify.com/episode/6tCN3U…
@howtobeapastor @BrianMerritt What's the best way for the EMTs to get to the sanctuary?
@BrianMerritt The blessing you gave us at the end of ep 2 brought me to tears. It was the meaning I needed.
@howtobeapastor Just listened to the podcast. Delightful and honest to the core. Headed to the desert for the week but looking forward to more wisdom upon the return. Thanks for sharing your voice.
What is the question you want the least before worship? I will start: “Do you know how to relight the boiler?”
