Here it is, already halfway through the Spring 2014 semester and it is already time to begin preparing for another transition. One week ago, with much anticipation, excitement, nervousness, and wonder, large envelopes were stuffed in student mailboxes for those who would be going on internship for the 2014-2015 year.
It is with much excitement that the Waterman's announce Paul will be serving as the intern at St. John's Lutheran Church in Bliedorn/Grand Mound, Iowa. This is a rural church, located south of Maquoketa. From the 'scouting report' (i.e. others who have served as interns in this congregation), this is a fantastic site to grow, develop, learn, and minister with God's creation!
Internship begins sometime in July and will go for an entire year. With that in mind, the anticipatory grief has begun, as others who go on internship will be dispersed to other synods, states, and even countries! The collegiality and cohesion among Paul's class has been helpful, even necessary at times. The good news is that God's creation will be well served by these interns, and there is another year post-internship for most of the group to gather, study, reflect, digest, and continue to be formed at the castle.
Thanks for your support, your words of encouragement, and the gifts you bring to this world!
