I didn't feel good at all in the pulpit, though. They have very bright spotlights, which blinded me and made me super hot. The light made the pulpit mic cast a big shadow over my manuscript, which made it hard to read. Also, I had underestimated the font size I would need, so basically, I preached from memory. It didn't feel good, but I got through it.
My family was great and so supportive, patiently shaking hands and telling people their names again and again and again. My son drew this picture when we got home and told me, "I felt like a handshaking machine today!" Yep.

FANTASTIC! Great news. I was thinking of you (took me this long to come over & tell you so!)
And now you know some things that need to be changed right away...that probably no one else will ever know or care about, and therefore not fuss about! That's worth knowing.
Iris, I'm so, so happy for you... and I love your son! Tell him, my son (who was almost 20 at the time!) felt just the same way when I preached for the call at St. Sociable.
And... maybe you can get their building and grounds committee to work with you on the lighting after you start...
good stuff, indeed. I'm so glad!
