I was given the office introduction from Rev. Russell . The combination of the safe and the understanding of the files were shared with me as this was to be the only moment I had to speak with Rev. Russell . It took almost ten minutes to explain all the administrative responsibilities I was assuming. Later, Jennifer and Mike , to help pass their time had Winston boost each of them up upon the huge front yard tree limb. Finally, Winston escorted us to the Lot 16 Church. He had a history book to give us as well as other facts, like the 18th century Bible and memorial communion set. He introduced to me the names of the families who dedicated stain glass windows in memory of their sons. Winston and Edith received us in their home for an evening meal. Jenn and Mike , of course, did their best to draw attention to them¬ selves by squabbling over who got which room in the Manse as their bedroom. Scott, our other child who was unable to be with us, was assigned his room by Jenn and Mike . I began officially Saturday, July 1, 1989 by staying at our cottage in West Cape , Prince Edward Island . I believe Rev. Harding was active on June 30, 1989 officiating at one more wedding. July was a month of orientation, ministry and unpacking. My brother Sandy and sister-in-law Heather stayed and assisted us for a considerable part of this experi¬ ence. I took an annual vacation in August. Amazing that in this vocation one can work a month and then take a vaca¬ tion. Of course, this goes right along with the theory that ministers only work three hours a week (if they have a three- point charge). My first sermon was delivered July 2, 1989 entitled "Beginnings" with the centering text being Luke 9:51-62. There is much in this text about 'beginnings'; Jesus begins a new movement as he sets his 'face to go to Jerusalem' while advising those who would risk following him of the inconve¬ niences and dangers, and yet at the same time invitingly say¬ ing "Follow me". This Sunday I also introduced one episode of my "Piggies Three" stories. Was this the Sunday that Dale Muttart , the car salesman, fell from his choir seat laughing uncontrollably as he listened to the children's story? The following texts and sermon titles were shared over 137 CHURCH MINISTERS
