In September, I started working half-time as an interim pastor for Washington Mennonite Church. It's a great way to "try on" the pastorate with family. Doug called in a panic the first night was at work: how was Brent going to get to the football game? I smiled and said, "Guess you'll have to figure that out yourself." :) The congregation is flexible about harvest, much appreciated. Grant Nebel, also half-time, continues as pastor. He's a farmer too. I've known him for quite a while, and we're having fun working together. I'm there 6 months- a year. It keeps me busy with the farm and serving as moderator of Central Plains Mennonite Conference.
