I'll see what I can do. I think we have a decent chance of getting it in
next Sunday. May depend on what Sweeney already has planned or how much
space he has.

One last edit suggestion from me - I think we should change the last clause
in the last sentence from "one that I hope to be able to serve again" to
"one that I hope to have the honor of serving again."

I think the current language could be misconstrued by some to mean
something that we don't intend.
