First Day as "the Pastor's Wife"

Yesterday was Jeff's first official day on the job with our new church. We weren't doing anything during the service, other than the whole family stand up and nod in a friendly manner when we were briefly introduced. Thanks to moving here to the suburb a month ago, we have been able to attend services a few times already and have even been to a few social events (Australia Day fireworks sitting with the church group and a pizza dinner with the elders and a few families with young kids), so it wasn't all too daunting.

In some ways, it was a bit of an easy day for Jeff as he didn't have to preach or anything. But we invited a couple home to a lunch of hamburgers after the service and a great opportunity for fellowship. They didn't manage to leave until around 4:30pm!

After they left, we sat for another two hours talking about things at church before we realised what time it was (7pm!) and Jeff hastily ducked out for some take away while I washed the kiddies and got them into their pyjamas ready for dinner then bed. It was a long day, but a goodie.

Thanks for your prayers.
