Sunday at Grace

Well, I survived my first experience singing liturgy in public! And no one walked out or looked pained or anything, so I think it went okay. The rest of the worship service was lovely as well, and it was a delight to get to know some of the folks at Grace in Nerstrand, where my supervisor, Judy Reitz Gustafson, is pastor. Here's a look at some of Grace's interior.


The beautiful sanctuary (obviously should have turned the lights on before taking the pics...sorry about that).




Closer view of the chancel (altar area).




One of many very pretty stained glass windows, this one portraying Jesus the Good Shepherd.




And the narthex (entry area).




The rest of my busy three-day weekend was also great. I spent some time with various friends back in St. Paul, and hosted one here at my new place as well. Back at it today, with some sermonizing to do this week...preaching at First Lutheran on Sunday!
