The basement is open and ready to receive. Please no clothing or electronics. If you would like to help set up or work at the Sale, please let me know.

St. Saviour:
Contemplative Prayer Group meets for one hour at noon on Fridays to pray together in silence and to share resources and experiences from their prayer journeys. The hour will begin with gathering in silence, then the leader will share a resource or an insight about contemplative prayer, then there will be a time of silent prayer, and finally a short time to share our thoughts and experiences in group discussion. Everyone is invited to come to this
group.
Prayer List: Father Malcolm Hughes (former rector) and his wife Lydia were on a cruise in the Pacific this winter when he fell and injured his back. They got off the ship in Hawaii and he had surgery there; the result of which was that he is paralyzed from the chest down. It is not clear if the paralysis is permanent or temporary. He and Lydia have returned to Florida, and he is being cared for in a convalescent center. Cards and letters can be sent to their home in Florida: 12791 N.W. Marina Court, Harbor Ridge, FL 34990.
