Valedictory Part 3

As we count down to Opening the Place of Welcome, there are a number of extra jobs on our plates, rehearsals, did I mention I was conducting a wedding on Saturday, Hannah's sixth birthday this week, several scheduled meetings, lunch at Columba College for Janine to meet other incoming students in her year, our usual transport to school is unwell so we are back to picking up girls in the afternoons, and I am sure that Zach will organise himself either friends over or to go and see friends at least once this week.

Mum and Dad surprised us (and themselves) by dropping in early yesterday.They came down to support Nancy Parker who is their LOM and has completed her training to be upgraded to a NOM. It just so happend we had invited a few of the Mosgiel families over for an impromptu lunch, so we really had a house full! Good times. Was nearly late for Valedictory as a result, and I got caught up in the procession and ended up sitting in the front, which is all very embarrassing. Still, had a good view as our classmates from last year were duely handed their diploma's and farewelled. This is the end of the School of Ministry, as from next year it will be the Knox Centre for Ministry and Leadership Training.
