So my agency placement took quite a while to find and to be honest I wasn't really sure that it was going to be a good fit for me. It took me less than one day to realize that I am where God intended for me to be. It has now been almost two and a half weeks since I have started at the Denver Inner City Parish (DICP or the parish) and every day I am grateful and excited about the work that I will be doing over the next year.
The basic overview of my job is pretty easy to explain. I am going to be the Volunteer Coordinator for the parish. It sounds pretty straight forward and in a lot of ways it is, until I add in that this is something that over the 50 years of the DICP's existence they have never had. That being said, they have used volunteers throughout that time period and at least have a pool of people to draw from. Maybe that makes my job easier, maybe it doesn't.
I also got some very exciting news last week, my placement with the parish started out as part-time and last week they asked me if I would be willing to take it on as my full-time placement for the year. It was so great and an answer to one of the things I had been praying about quite a bit.
Just today I had another one answered.
As a part of my up in hours, comes an adjustment in duties. Starting today I will begin developing a children's program for the DICP's worship service, which meets every other week. I really wanted to work with children in some capacity this year. I just felt that after teaching Sunday school last year that it was something that I really enjoyed. If you team that up with my goal to become reacquainted with the many Bible stories that you learn as a kid I have found my outlet. There are quite a few children that attend the services and like most kids they get antsy when they have to sit too long. Steve, the DICP pastor has asked for me to take on working with the kids, teaching Bible stories and completing crafts. I know it will be a lot of work but in many ways it is what I was really looking for during this year and I didn't have to look very hard, it just fell into my lap.
God really is great.
