Father's Day at Jubilee House

Hello Dear Ones!

More good news from the Precentor household. Today we worshipped with our friends, the Rev. and Mrs. Jubilee, in their home congregation "up north" of here. This is a diverse, very friendly group of people who are seeking the Holy Spirit's activity in their midst, and trying to discover their own call to ministry in that particular place. The Rev. Jubilee himself is not the pastor of the congregation, but worships there when he is not out on the road working for the kingdom.

After a warm and welcoming service of holy communion (with a donkey-kicking sermon by the Rev. Mama Grace, pastor) and some barn-burner gospel hymns that Mrs. Precentor recalled from her evangelical childhood, we made our way to the Jubilee House for lunch, and fellowship, and a tour of our new digs. We will have our own "flat" at the top of the house--bedroom, office, full bath and generous attic closet that may become the Precentor Library Pro Tempore if we can get an electrician to put a few plugs in there. Some of our other furnishings will serve the entire household...and the rest will go into storage for the time being.

And since I know some of you are wondering...yes, there is a proper screened porch, with a very nice view, for settin' and thinkin' and writin'. "All I have needed, Thy hand hath provided..."

At the end of the worship service this morning, the men of the congregation were all given red carnations. Mama Grace announced that "even if you're not a father 'technically', please take a flower in honor of the fatherly care and attention you have bestowed upon those who love you." Precentor was (and is!) much in mind of those whom he has cared for and tended to over the past few years

So happy Father's Day my dears. From one who has been occasionally called by that name, and has been much honored by your love and affection.

See you on the porch!
