From the Diocese of Maine As a Parish of the Diocese of Maine, we are part of a church family that extends from Kittery to Fort Kent, and connects us to the rest of the Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion. We share ministry with our Bishop and with every worshipping community. If you are not subscribed to the Diocesan twice monthly email newsletter, the DioLog, please click [here] to subscribe. If you are subscribed, don't forget to open it and read it every time! There is a lot going on in every corner of the Diocese, and you wouldn't want to miss anything! To: All people in the Diocese of Maine From: Diocesan Discernment Committee In order to hear from as many people as possible in the Diocese of Maine, we invite you to take a short survey regarding our quest for the next Bishop of Maine. Your input will be very helpful to the Discernment Committee in articulating to prospective candidates who the people and congregations of the Diocese of Maine are and what type of person they are looking for to be their next Bishop. If you have any comments beyond the survey form, please send those to discernmentcommittee@ episcopalmaine.org . Thank you for taking the time to do this. The survey closes February 28.

| | Westside Food Pantry: On a mild, but icy day the Pantry was very busy. Our neighbors were served efficiently and warmly with your presence and a steady flow of operations. A few of our neighbors admitted that this was proving to be a particularly tough winter making "ends meet." I saw a fatigue and weariness in the faces of many of our neighbors yesterday. $14,690 worth of vouchers were distributed to 254 adults and 90 children comprising 184 households. 4 new households were registered with 10 new neighbors. Nancy Hinckley came to the St. John Church Office last week with a large box of hand-knitted winter scarves, mittens, and hats to distribute to anyone who needed them. They were well received and appreciated by the many who took them home. Our volunteers, as usual, provided a warm and caring environment for time with our Pantry neighbors.
The Pantry will be open on Sunday, February 18, from 12:00-1:00 p.m. | |
