This is one of our busiest week's of the year, not quite as busy as graduation week, but close. Tomorrow is Call Day, the day when second year seminary students will receive their one year vicarage assignments during an afternoon service. Following that will be a dinner we host for all the Missouri Synod District Presidents in from all over the country for Call Day. In the evening our graduating students will be part of a service where they will receive their first call into the ministry and find out where their first church will be. The campus is already filled with visiting parents and grandparents.
Holy Cross in Collinsville will be getting a vicar for next year for the first time in a long long time. It's pretty exciting. The church also has 3 other seminary guys who will be getting a vicarage and one who will receive his first call. Good for Holy Cross.
The last two days of this week is grandparents day at our grandkids schools. The conflict here is that they are in 3 different schools which is going to be some kind of rushing around from place to place. Plus the addition of the annual operetta Thursday night. Then Ahner greenhouses from New Baden is going to deliver all of our campus annuals and vegetable plants which is a sizeable amount. My job is to help unload, set out, and take the money from all the orders.
Today is finish up the loose ends for tomorrow night's dinner.
But honestly, what I have to do is nothing compared to what our seminary staff people have to do. They are true troopers.
