At the Gospel, on the day Trinity Parish
celebrated 150 years of our church building.
The Bishop visited, we
confirmed new members, the choir sang and musicians played terrific
Chancel Music with strings and horns, then we had a fine feast in the parish hall.
Our Priest is reading John 21:1-19, my
favorite. That's the one where the disciples went fishing.
With some help from Jesus, they caught 153 fish in one cast.
Then Jesus said, "Follow me", and they
did.
I've known several commercial fishermen,
and few of them would have walked away from a catch like that unless they
had a good reason.
