A Morning at TFC’s Headquarters

Today I was on the other side of a webinar, doing training on ministry communication with newsletters, display boards, and photos.

It looks like I even use my hands when talking to a computer. This photo was taken right after I started, so I must have been emphasizing something about God – the master communicator.

Because this was my first time to use the computer for training, I chose to go to the office and let the guys work through the technical stuff. This is Howard Moses, whose desk and computer I was using. He is Director of Chaplain Care and was also involved in the training. (By the way, the food you saw on the desk in the previous picture is his.)

My PowerPoint had previously been downloaded into the program, making it very easy and comfortable for me. Because the men who were listening had open mikes, it felt like they were nearby. However, one was in California and the other in Quebec, Canada.

The other trainer today was Bunny O’Hare, Director of Chaplains.

After I finished my portion (about an hour), I spent time with Angie, and worked through some details of the upcoming Winter Retreat.

Before heading home, I went to the shop and checked on Cerwin, to see what he has been up to during the past few weeks when the chapel construction has been on hold.

He has been making Highway News & Good News racks with leftover lumber.

Another thing that’s occupying some of his time has been cleaning corrosion from the rivets on the chapel. The man who is going to paint it, said he would do it at a very low cost if Cerwin did this job.

There are more than 5,000 rivets!
