The end of an era.

It was my day for house cleaning, and I was happily working away, when the phone rang, and everything changed. It was Kevin (from church) and I thought at first he wanted me to volunteer this week, but he started the conversation with the words, you are not going to like this, and I didn't. Without going into too much detail, he is giving up Open Church for good.There have been a lot of undercurrents going on for a long time, and he said that  for his health & well being, he will have to walk away from it all. He thanked me for being a stalwart volunteer, and said how much he has enjoyed my company. To say that I am devastated doesn't come close, and I will miss it so much. I have got far more out of volunteering, than I ever thought possible. It will seem very strange walking passed the church tomorrow, and finding the doors closed .I know they say that when one door closes, another one opens, but will it? and I don't know I want it to.
