Echo of Joy

Going with the flow...to Rochester

Saturday, September 18, 2010

One day this week I had lunch with the pastor of one of my churches. Then we went out to that church so I could take a look around and get acquainted with their worship habits. This was important because the first time I lead worship (and preach) at that church, he'll be gone and I'll be on my own.

Then he told me he needed to go to Rochester for a quick stop at the Mayo Clinic, and asked if I'd like to ride along. It was a perfect chance to get to know him better, so off we went together. An unexpected, yet very pleasant, way to spend a Thursday afternoon. Mayo is quite the photogenic place, so here are a few pics.


The Plummer and Siebens Buildings, taken from the fourth floor of the Gonda building, all part of the Mayo complex in downtown Rochester.




A closer view of the beautiful Plummer Building.




A view of some kind of street festival or concert, between the Kahler Grand Hotel on the left and the Siebens Building on the right. In the background is the Peace Plaza in front of the Shops at University Square.




Finally, a couple works of glass art in the Gonda Building. The bowl was in the fourth-floor hallway and the hanging pieces were in a sort-of atrium between the subway and first levels.







P.S. I also attended two church council meetings this week, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. I could have gone to a third Friday evening but decided that one would have to wait. And I had my first (since living here, that is) close encounter with deer. I saw them in the ditch in time to stop, which was luckier than one of the pastors, who hit a deer on the way home from our internship committee meeting last week.
