Man of the Cloth

You may be able to tell that this is one of my earlier paper layouts. There is very little journaling. These photos were all taken at the church where my husband serves as Associate Pastor. He took the steeple photo from his office window, and I put a sticker on it that seemed just perfect to me. The arched stained glass window is from our original church. It was salvaged and moved to the new santuary when it was built in 1967, and is now in the chapel. Our sanctuary has modern Willette Hauser faceted glass windows. Photos of those windows are scattered throughout this layout. My husband also took those photos. Those photos have been used on publications. My husband began this career in his fifties, but you could not guess it from looking at his pictures because in his heart, he is still a boy.

God loves him and so do I

This was Larry's first call, and we hope it will be his last, as we hope he will serve there until retiring.
This is the church that both of us wanted him to be called to. It is the only one he could have served in with my disability, and still be a good husband to me.
It is a miracle that he got called to this church, and we both count that as yet another sign that God has called Larry into the ministry.

Larry's father died just weeks after he began his ministry at Holy Trinity. The funeral was held in Upstate NY, in the church where Larry served as an altar boy. The priest invited Larry to preach the homily and to preside at communion. So the first time that his father saw him lead worship was when he was in heaven.
And the first funeral service Larry ever performed was for his father.

What a way to start your ministry.

His father would have liked to see Larry as a pastor.
I can only imagine the rush of words he will say to his son when Larry gets to heaven.

And there will be kisses, lots of kisses.
