Good
News, Everyone!
This year's auction promises to be one of the best ever,
thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our donors! Review the partial list of
items for sale and see
selected photos. Come to the Country Fair Saturday afternoon,
July 11, and place your bid. As usual, there will be thousands of items
tagged
for sale at low, low prices!
Fr John is out of rehab and back in the
rectory. Although he is recovering nicely from the infection,
operation, and complications, his heart is not working efficiently,
leaving him weak in body and spirit. We all pray that he will feel
better than ever as soon as his heart is repaired!
The
Country Fair and
Auction and Barbecue is coming July 11 & 12.
Donations are
being accepted in Burke Hall, where the Crafters meet every Tuesday at
6 pm to prepare items. See The
Messenger, May 2009 (pdf) for full details.
The
Messenger
has also
an essay by Walt Zelley on what we, as Episcopalians, are
obliged
to confess. Walt's been reading the back matter
again!
Have you checked the St John's Photobook? Several new faces have been
added. Welcome
all!
September 25th saw the gathering
of hundreds at
the Church of St John the Divine in NYC to support the Millennium
Development Goals, which the recent Lambeth Conference and Katharine,
our Presiding Bishop, endorse. World poverty could be
substantially reduced with a mere fraction of
the proposed Wall Street bailout, an irony.
Sunday
School
resumed Sunday,
September 14. If you wish
your child enrolled, please contact Wendy Langlois or Rebecca Briggs.
2008

statement on the real challenges that face our larger
communion. Also of interest from the conference: Indaba Conversations.
