I attended another preacher's meeting yesterday. This one was held in Winter Garden at the West Orange Congregation. I met: Mark Smith (pulpit), Carey Hadley (youth), and Dave Stevens (family life) from the West Orange congregation; Steve Puckett (pulpit) from the Melbourne congregation; Joe Roberts (pulpit) and Lonnie Johnson (youth) from the Orange Ave. congregation in Eustis; and Randal Myers from the Highland congregation in Lakeland. We shared how we became Christians and how we came to ministry. Then we had lunch at the Asian Buffet around the corner. Next month we will meet at the Orange Ave. congregation in Eustis. The normal procedure is to have a grab bag, a book review, and a sermon to share (PowerPoint) each brought by a different guy. I'm looking forward to having some good fellowship with these guys.
Two of the senior ladies here at Mt. Dora passed away this week; Yuvarn Haskins and Myrtice Pickren. Both ladies and their families have been instrumental to the work and history of this congregation. There are a lot of family connections in this congregation, just like Tabernacle. It will probably take me a while to figure them out.
Pat passed the Florida Teacher's certification test yesterday. I had no doubt she would. She will be issued a temporary certificate. She can be hired now with confidence by any school. She will have to work on a permanent certificate but again I have no doubt that she will pass that one as well. I'm looking forward to seeing her use her teaching knowledge for her own class room. I think she's going to be a great teacher.
