Sunday 4/28 Forum

Dear Friends, 

Please join me this Sunday 4/28 at 9am for a forum about the Easter Season, resurrection, and the risen life: How long is Easter? What is the focus of the season? How do we practice resurrection and show forth the risen Christ? What do our scriptures and readings tell us?

I'd also like to fill you in about my upcoming leave from 4/29-6/15. Coverage is in place and everything seems to be in good order, but please bring any questions or concerns you might have. 

Looking forward to our being together!  

In the risen Christ, 
Mother Kathleen+

The wardens, vestry, and myself have been working to ensure that the life of the parish carries on in good form, as it has for over 100 years! I look forward to being back with you for the opening of St. Andrew's on 6/16. Thank you again for your prayers, love, and support; my prayers, love, and gratitude are with you.
