Planning

One of the things I like about Charlottesville are the quirky taxis. I was stuck in traffic the other day and found myself behind this cab.

Speaking of planning, our University students are in their last week of classes, with finals looming, and graduation for some. Just a quick reminder that graduation Sunday is May 20, and we will have our regular 8 am service, but no 10 am service. Instead, we will continue the tradition begun a few years ago, of having Holy Eucharist and picnic at 11 am at McIntire Park. The regular 5:30 pm service will happen that day.

EfM mentor moonlighting as taxi driver?

If you've been around Charlottesville awhile you know that the taxi drivers in this town have an odd sense of humor and they like to display it on the trunks of their cabs.

And, if you've been around the Episcopal Church awhile you know that we love our metaphors and we love to say "The Lord be with you" on any occasion. And spinning metaphors is the foundation of the popular Education for Ministry program.

So imagine my delight at seeing this all mixed up on the back of a C'ville cab.

I was caught in traffic the other day behind this taxi, and took a photo with my iPhone when we were stopped at a light. I am wondering if the cabbie is an out-of-work EfM leader or just a very inspired EfM graduate. Maybe someone will see him again and ask.
