Last night we went on a triple date with another ministry family. Nothing says “healthy pastors” like coordinated schedules and someone actually making the reservation.

Tim didn’t preach this Sunday (thanks, Frank), but still showed up for all three services and handled baptisms after the third. So technically a lighter load, but also not really.

Andrew took a unique turn in his John series, backtracking to cover a portion of John 19 that the sermon calendar skipped over during Easter. After 32 weeks in the Gospel of John, he’s officially heading into the final message next week. It’s been a journey, and yes, we all aged a little along the way.

Tim is entering the ordination process in the next few months, with Andrew, Frank, and Adam Powers serving as examiners. So naturally, we’re already preparing our hardest questions and trying not to enjoy that too much.

It’s a week of ministry rhythms, meaningful milestones, and the occasional reminder that even when you don’t preach, you’re still very much working.
