We ordered a new mic/receiver for #StLukesBuffalo and it was installed today. This means that both the Deacon and I will be mic’d for service so people watching online can now hear everything.
My deacon is having memory issues, so this will not be as easy as it sounds.

Had my first funeral at #StLukesBuffalo today. We had 167 people in attendance. The church is TINY. The family alone took up six pews. so A number of people were in the parish hall watching the live feed.
The service was good, as are all Episcopal funerals, and I managed to preach a good sermon about someone I never met.

It has been an eventful week, not always for the best (broken-down car among the worst), but I finally arrived in #BuffaloWY. The last few days included settling into the guest house, finding a place to live, and trying to be calm for Mrs. Ref as she deals with stuff back home alone.
Monday, 10/30, I unload boxes at the office, meet my deacon, & fill out new employee paperwork. Tuesday I meet w/the former interim for a debriefing. Then Wednesday I officially begin as Rector of #StLukesBuffalo.

Stopped in at the office today to pick up the alb and cope. Also got the new LOA signed and returned to the diocesan offices. Called #StLukesBuffalo and talked with my new parish admin about Sunday service on 11/5. Then talked with my new senior warden who found a place for me to live.
Things are coming together. All we need now is for the house to sell.
