Last night we attended the United Methodist West District memorial service and conference in the FUMC in Stephenville. I was priviledged to light the candle for the three members of our Cross Plains FUMC that died last year.
I was intrigued by the stained glass windows in the old church. On the left was a large window with Christ blessing people and on the right was a large window with what I took to be John Wesley. First time I remember seeing a stained glass window that didn't have Biblical figures on it. The ones we made at CP are all symbolic of Biblical stories.
We had a good pianist playing for the hymns. A young man who apparently ran the projector that projected the words on front walls. I personally used the hymn book to see what the music looked like.
We got to Stephenville an hour early, so we went to a restaurant and then got back a couple of minutes late and sat on the back row with our pastor and a retired minister from our church. During the business meeting I found out that having the Annual Conference Preliminary Report downloaded to my Kindle didn't let me find the pages fast enough to keep up with the discussion. It might work at the Annual Conference where we have three days to look at it. I noticed that it worked a lot better on the pastor's Ipad or whatever he has.
We got home at 10 ready for some sleep after driving most of the day. Today we looked at the morning glories climbing their trellis and the mint I put in a pot was really large and growing. Nancy's rain gauge had about 1" so that has kept everything growing while we were gone. Nancy mowed some high grass this morning. I nailed a board back on the fence and posted to my Waples waplesmethodists.blogspot.com Methodist blog.
