Guess it was that growing up on "whistle while you work" melody although I had to admit that I sang more often than I whistled. :)<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527606943179561117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31603762.post-67548166866073019962008-09-27T15:47:00.000-05:002008-09-27T15:47:00.000-05:00Great to hear about your singing, too, Lee!Great to hear about your singing, too, Lee!david mcmahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009095220051075552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31603762.post-62216162935205129762008-09-26T20:05:00.000-05:002008-09-26T20:05:00.000-05:00Hi Bill, Thank you so much for visiting and sharin...Hi Bill, <BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for visiting and sharing all this really great information. <BR/><BR/>The registrations forms went out this past week or two ago to the Guild and hopefully the course work will arrive shortly. <BR/><BR/>There are 5 of us registered as vergers in training at my church, Church of Reconciliation Episcopal, San Antonio, TX. Our head verger is Ted Ressler and he's been a member of the guild for a quite a few years. In addition to the course work from the guild he will be directing our training. <BR/><BR/>It was nice of you to start following my blog. I noticed you've started one too. I hope you'll post more about your experiences as a verger too. I'll be sure to put news here so that you can find it easily. <BR/><BR/>Wish I were set up to attend the convention this year. VT is supposed to be gorgeous and I've got a good friend who just moved there. Maybe next year! :) <BR/><BR/>Peace! Hope! & Joy!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527606943179561117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31603762.post-65902453348587594692008-09-26T18:57:00.000-05:002008-09-26T18:57:00.000-05:00With a Google Alert on the word “verger”, your rec...With a Google Alert on the word “verger”, your recent Blog popped up in my daily alerts. I am interested in reading of your verger training and becoming a verger. And in case you are unfamiliar with the Vergers’ Guild of the Episcopal Church, I also wanted to give you some information about the VGEC.<BR/><BR/>The Vergers’ Guild of the Episcopal Church was founded in 1989 as a service organization devoted to the Office and Ministry of the Verger in the Episcopal Church today. The Guild prints a regular newsletter, The Verger’s Voice, along with an Annual VGEC Membership Directory. The VGEC meets annually, in a 4-day conference, where vergers converge for education, entertainment, social time, and an Annual Banquet. Last year’s 2007 19th VGEC Conference was held in September at the Cathedral Church of Saint John in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This year, 2008, we will meet at the Cathedral Church of Saint Paul in Burlington, Vermont, Thursday thru Sunday, 23-26 October for the 20th National Conference of the Vergers’ Guild of the Episcopal Church. We hope to see you there.<BR/><BR/>The Vergers’ Guild also has “A Course of Training for a Verger”, that we sell to members. Upon completion of the course, a VGEC Diploma and Virge are presented to the those members during the Annual Banquet at the VGEC National Conference. Last year 6 members were presented with their Diploma and Virge, increasing to 133 those Fellows of the VGEC.<BR/><BR/>The Guild has an active Web Site ( www.vergers.org ), and a V-List to which anyone can subscribe and contribute to any ongoing lines of conversations, or ask questions concerning vergers and our ministry. Instructions for subscribing to the V-List are on our WebPage.<BR/><BR/>If you are interested in obtaining a few materials, brochures and hand-outs, I would welcome your interest and/or membership in the Vergers’s Guild of the Episcopal Church. If you have further questions, would like to plan a workshop in your area, need more materials, or any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at any time. God Bless you always!<BR/><BR/>Bill<BR/>William H Gleason<BR/>VGEC President Emeritus<BR/>VGEC Guild Shoppe <BR/>618 Harpeth Parkway East<BR/>Nashville TN <BR/><BR/>615.646.7061 Voice<BR/>615.673.1474 Fax<BR/>615.812.9440 Cell<BR/>Bill@vergers.org Email<BR/>www.vergers.org WebPageVergerBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712805334074765536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31603762.post-80905825488568574092008-09-24T21:48:00.000-05:002008-09-24T21:48:00.000-05:00Hi Louise!

Sandi, it is so nice to have you back on the blog circuit! <BR/><BR/>Hooboo appreciates the sympathy from Hound and wonders if he wants to play? <BR/><BR/>He stayed in today so that he could get some more rest, or at least that is what I told him before I left. :) <BR/><BR/>I'm sure you're right about things working out in the end. I'm just not used to this much activity on one day. Won't even go to the bit about having to attend Ultreya unexpectedly.

And if I help with cleanup I get extras. :) <BR/><BR/>I'm sure this scheduling intensity will work itself out soon. Time will probably take care of any adjustments needed. <BR/><BR/>Please tell Tina we missed her at choir last night and also that Jean has returned so we had an extra voice. <BR/><BR/>Joy!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527606943179561117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31603762.post-37576725294898866762008-09-18T17:46:00.000-05:002008-09-18T17:46:00.000-05:00Lee: I don't know if congratulations or condolence...Lee: I don't know if congratulations or condolences should be offered for your new gigs at Rec. Thanks, for sure, since it's a service for all of us. Of course, there is the perk of a double portion of Episco-port wine when you're at both services. :-Dmurat11https://www.blogger.com/profile/00663364407992075130noreply@blogger.com
