"I Got a Guy"
from the October, 2020 Board Meeting Faith Minute - by 2017-18 President, Mike Pickett
Our parish is about to hit 100. Since ‘Day One,’ there’s always been “A Guy” - and/or a gal - that Nativity could turn to regardless of what was needed along the way.
The “I got a guy” factor is one of the best things about this place. My first major ‘got-a-guy’ moment came when a parishioner and civil engineer, Brian Dobie Sr., arranged for us to dig a big hole that saved the parish 25 grand and salvaged the foundation of the Early Learning Center.
There’s always a guy or a gal here… to supply an enormous tree, to fetch a corn roaster, to rebuild a wretched trailer, to make the bells ring on time, to do the landcaping, to wash the altar robes, or to write a big check.
We don’t just have a tech guy, we have a guy for bandwidth, one for programming, marketing, and social media, too. We have a wrench guy, a brick guy, a beverage guy, a car guy, a sound guy... several legal guys… we even have a special sauce guy.
Need to borrow a tool, or help with something big? “I got a guy.”
Need a consultant for any question on earth? “I got a room full of guys.”
When it’s all said and done, though, we’re not here for ‘a guy,’ we’re here for ‘The Guy’. The One who gives us reason, and purpose, to be His guys.
