On Saturday May 12, I had the privilege to speak to the Presbytery of Sacramento during their meeting at Woodland Presbyterian Church. New friends were made and long-time friendships were renewed.

David Rue preached. David and I met in Cleveland where we served together on the presbytery team working to address and disrupt racism. The photo was taken from the back of the church – we should have had one taken after the meeting.

It turned out that May 12 was the day Janice Kamikawa was approved for ordination as a Minister of the Word and Sacrament. She serves as a chaplain in a hospital and at a youth detention service. We met at Ghost Ranch during a week in antiracism work.

Because of the invitation to speak, I knew I would see David. Seeing Janice again, and sitting in on the meeting where she was unanimously approved, was a surprise.

In both instances, it was a blessing.

See you along the Trail.
