Can the Pastor? Yes we can!
Yes, I know, I am breaking my own blogging rule about posting on the Sabbath. There are days, however, when it is for the greater good. Today is one of those days. This morning my office was overrun by the kids in our religious ed classes who have spent the past several weeks collecting canned goods for the poor in our community in an effort to “can” the pastor.
The idea is simple. The parishioners of St. Thomas are attempting to bring in enough canned goods to fill my office to the point that I will end up in the hallway of our office, thus “canning” the pastor. It is a big office to fill, but our young folks turned out in force today, challenging their older counterparts to do the same. As they came in they chanted, “Can the pastor! Yes we can!”
It was great to see them getting into the spirit of Lent. They certainly raised a ruckus in my office this morning and I hope that they will keep it up as there are still several weeks of Lent to go!
