I got to worship at Grace Venice last week while the Bishop was there preaching. Afterwards we all went out to lunch - the Berlins, Pastor Sarah and her husband along with Daryl and I.
We took them out to lunch next to the Venice Pier and they loved it.
On Tuesday I had the opportunity to drive to lunch in Naples with my mentor Roy and Stephanie Campbell. Stephanie had been a pastor in our district when I served at Tice; now she runs Dinner Bell Farm in North Carolina and she was home for a visit.
Wednesday I drove to Orlando for a long awaited wedding. Our conference lay leader Alice Williams finally legally married her partner Debby Zutter in their home church - St. Luke's UMC in Orlando. Their wedding was held on December 4 - their 45th anniversary together. It was a magical celebration and so full of love.
So many of our FLUMC delegation were in attendance to support and love Alice and we got our picture taken together in front of the tree.
