Dear Parish Family, This Sunday is Christ the King Sunday, and there's a whole lot going on! There is forum between the services at 9am that will consist of two parts: a brief overview of our Advent study, Journeying the Way of Love, which begins on December 2nd, and then an open conversation about our island church partnership. I'll be handing out a few Way of Love materials that will be helpful to have in advance, including an Advent Calendar with daily reflections and practices. And then you'll have a chance to join in the conversation about where our parish is at and where we're headed. We will also be ingathering and blessing our pledges for 2019, a festive coffee hour to follow the 10am service. This is a time to celebrate our successes, as well as to pray that the works of our hands and fruits of our spirits may continue to build upon God's extraordinary generosity, bounty, and love. If you can't be with us this Sunday, please know that it's not too late to pledge and commit to supporting St. Andrew & St. John. Your gifts of treasure, time, and talent are always welcome. I hope everyone had a safe and warm Thanksgiving Day, and see you this Sunday for our Great Thanksgiving of worship and praise! Faithfully, Mother Kathleen+ | | | |
